A mental health crisis can be extremely frightening and difficult for family and friends to understand. Law enforcement and paramedics have limited resources to help during a mental health crisis, which can result in an unnecessary trip to the Emergency Room. This often only adds to the crisis.

Our emergency teams are trained to immediately respond and resolve a crisis. We offer a full continuum of services and treatment resources on our Nashville campus.
