Intervention and Support
At Grassy Narrows, we understand that moments of crisis can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with mental health challenges. Our Intervention and Aftercare Support services are here to provide urgent care when you need it most. These services are designed to help individuals experiencing severe emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or other mental health emergencies.
What is Intervention?
When Should You Reach Out?
You or a loved one may benefit from intervention services if you are experiencing:
- Severe depression or anxiety.
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
- Overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, or despair.
- Sudden changes in behavior that are out of character.
- Intense emotional or psychological pain.
- Struggles to cope with daily life.
Remember, you are not alone—help is always available, and reaching out is the first step toward feeling better.
