Crisis
Be Well Illinois is here to provide you resources to help you or someone you know out of a mental crisis. People experiencing mental illness and the people who care for them need information. However, that information is not always readily available and the search for answers may require more energy and persistence than possible in times of crisis. We have collected links to point you in the right direction to get help. Reminder, if there is emergency, call the mental health crisis hotline at 1-800-950-6264.
