At Ababe Health Care Center, we understand that mental health crises can occur unexpectedly and require immediate, compassionate, and expert intervention. Our Crisis & Acute Care Intervention services are designed to provide rapid support to individuals experiencing severe emotional distress, psychiatric emergencies, or sudden behavioral changes.

Whether you or a loved one is in the midst of a mental health crisis, dealing with thoughts of self-harm, or navigating an acute episode of a psychiatric condition, our team is ready to help stabilize the situation and initiate a path toward safety and recovery.

What Is a Mental Health Crisis?

A mental health crisis can look different for everyone, but typically includes situations where a person:

• Feels overwhelmed by emotions like panic, hopelessness, or rage
• Experiences suicidal thoughts or self-harming behavior
• Displays erratic, aggressive, or disoriented behavior
• Is struggling with an acute episode of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or psychosis
• Is unable to function at home, work, or school due to emotional distress
• Has recently experienced a traumatic or life-altering event

These situations often require immediate professional intervention to ensure safety, provide stabilization, and begin treatment.
