Crisis Resources

Please find below an incomplete and evolving list of community crisis resources available to anyone who requires support. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911.  

Because of systemic and institutional imbalances of power, you may not feel comfortable or welcome accessing one or more of these crisis resources. We encourage you to seek help from friends and family, a community leader, or a trusted person in your faith or field.
