Why might it be better to seek help elsewhere?
- Therapists in our network are not able to medically assess or treat individuals who are actively struggling with suicidal ideation, intent, or plans. It is better to do an assessment in-person to find the best care plan in these instances.
- For in-person care, it’s best to find that in your local community.
- The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can point you to resources that can help you right now if you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts or ideation, including connecting you with local medical resources if needed.
