Emergency/Crisis Resources

On this page, FMCS founder Alex Thompson has listed some emergency/crisis care resources that are local to New Jersey and offer services in person, as well as some hotlines that are national.

Psychiatric ERs

Psychiatric ERs will help you during a suicidal or acute crisis. This is ideal if you feel you will be a harm to yourself or others and need a place where they will hold you for the duration of your crisis. They can also provide counseling, resources, and medication management as needed.
