We’re Here to Help

Suicidal thoughts and feelings can be intense, but they are treatable. Asking for help is a courageous step. Our Behavioral Health team offers inpatient and outpatient care, therapy, and support services to help you feel heard, seen, and supported.

If someone you know shows these signs, check in and offer support:

  • Talking about wanting to die or looking for methods
  • Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities
  • Giving away personal items or saying goodbye
  • Increased use of alcohol or drugs
  • Expressing feelings of hopelessness or being a burden
  • Sudden mood changes, anger, or anxiety
