When someone you know needs help
When someone needs help with mental health or substance use disorder, family and community support is vital. Here are ways to assist:
- Check in regularly with family, friends, and neighbors to strengthen social bonds and support well-being.
- When a person presents as having a behavioral health need and is willing to get help, work with them to call YKHC Behavioral Health program at 907-543-6100 to schedule an evaluation.
- If a person is not an immediate danger to themselves and does not want to seek help, your strongest option is to let them know you care and are there when they are ready to seek help.
- If someone poses an immediate, serious threat to themselves or others and won’t seek help, contact village officers or state troopers for assistance.
- If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call YKHC’s crisis line at 907-543-6499 or 844-543-6499.
