The following options are appropriate resources for emergency and crisis situations.

​

If you or someone you know is in immediate need of medical or psychiatric care or is an immediate danger to self or others, please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

​

If you call 911 and indicate that your situation is a mental health crisis, you can request the Polk County Mobile Crisis Response Team and they can help assess your situation and send a mobile crisis team and law enforcement to your location. If you would like to access the Mobile Crisis Response Team in a non-emergent situation you can reach them at 515.283.4811.
