24-Hour Help Line for Information and Intervention
Call 1-800-322-8400 to find help 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Emergency Mental Health Services (EMHS) provides a 24-hour crisis telephone line for Evanston residents. EMHS provides counseling, either by telephone or in-person, to help reduce the immediate emotional stress. When necessary, EMHS can provide face to face mental health assessment and assistance. The staff can meet the caller at home or in some other agreeable site to discuss intervention options. When a problem requires the help of other professionals, the staff can refer the caller to those services. If necessary, transportation can be arranged for the caller to reach hospitals or other crisis services.
When a person calls EMHS, a trained professional is available to talk, to assess their needs and options, and to help obtain further assistance. EMHS helps individuals with severe personal and family problems, including loss of an important relationship, mental illness, depression, anxiety or thoughts of suicide.
Assistance provided by Trilogy, a local provider of behavioral health care services. Service arranged by the Evanston Local Area Network (ELAN) in cooperation with the Metro North Network of the Office of Mental Health.
