If you are an adult who is having a Mental Health or Substance Abuse emergency, you may go to any of Philadelphia's 5 Crisis Response Centers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These 5 "CRCs" are located in different parts of the city, so there is one fairly close to where you are in Philadelphia.
FOR ALL CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS (under age 18), please go to Einstein
Hospital @ Germantown Community Center at 1 Penn Boulevard, 215-951-8300.
If you are thinking about hurting yourself, please call the
SUICIDE HOTLINE at 215-686-4420.
Someone will always be able to take your emergency
call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you are not sure where to go, call the Delegate Line at 215-685-6440.The Delegate Line will be able to help you in an emergency. They will direct you to the nearest service
that will meet your needs.
If necessary, the Delegate Line will send the Mobile
Emergency Team (MET) to your location.
Because not all emergency rooms serve children, call
the Delegate Line at 215-685-6440 to get immediate
help for children. They will send someone to your home
or tell you where to take your child.
You can also call 1-888-545-2600 and Member Services will connect you to the crisis hotline.
If your emergency is life threatening, go directly to the nearest Emergency Room.
