In Crisis?

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, are feeling unsafe, or are thinking about harming yourself or others, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

If you need to talk to someone right now, call or text 988 to connect with trained counselors offering free, confidential, and compassionate support 24/7/365.

Needs requiring inpatient-level care, such as active detox, active psychosis, or severe crisis needing continuous monitoring, are outside the scope of our telehealth services.

If you are currently in inpatient care and planning for discharge, you or your care team may contact us to explore whether HarmonyMBS could be an appropriate partner for post-discharge support.
