Need help with safety now?
If your child is in immediate danger, has seriously harmed themselves, or you cannot keep them or someone else safe, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department now. Do not wait to finish this check-in.
Thoughts or statements about harming themselves or others need immediate professional help. This website and our app-support inbox cannot provide emergency or clinical care.
