Mental health crisis lines
Crisis lines are available for all people in Washington regardless of your income or whether you have insurance or not.
- For a life threatening-emergency: Call 911.
- For 24-hour suicide prevention or a behavioral health crisis: Call or text 988.
- For substance use, problem gambling, or mental health support: Contact the Washington Recovery Help Line or the behavioral health crisis line in your area.
What happens if you call a crisis line?
After you call or text 988 or call a county crisis line:
- A professional provides you with support and asks you for information about the crisis.
- They will offer in-person crisis services, including Mobile Crisis Outreach (for adults and youth), Designated Crisis Responders, and safety officers.
- Mobile crisis outreach and emergency services may need to ask further questions to determine the appropriate response.
- The dispatched crisis service will then help the individual receive appropriate care.

The BHASOs each have a different color that is the same as the list on the left. Each county has their name written inside their border.
