Mental Health Crisis Guides - Bundle

When someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis, it can be difficult to know what requires immediate action, what may be managed with outpatient support, and what to do next.

The Mental Health Crisis Guide Bundle includes three practical, easy-to-reference resources designed to help parents, families, educators, and ministry leaders recognize when a mental health concern may require an emergency evaluation or a higher level of care.

This bundle includes:

When Does a Child or Teen Need Psychiatric Hospitalization?

A parent’s guide to recognizing serious warning signs, understanding when an emergency evaluation may be necessary, and knowing what steps to take.

When Does a Young Adult Need Psychiatric Hospitalization?

A guide for families supporting a young adult in crisis, including signs that safety may no longer be maintained outside of a hospital and guidance for seeking emergency help.

When Does a Student Need an Emergency Mental Health Evaluation?

A guide for teachers, school staff, and youth ministry leaders to help distinguish emotional or behavioral distress from situations that warrant immediate emergency action.

Together, these guides provide clear warning signs, practical next steps, and guidance for responding with greater confidence during an overwhelming situation.

Format: 3 downloadable PDF guides

Designed for: Parents, caregivers, families, educators, school staff, church leaders, and youth ministry teams.

These resources are educational and are not a substitute for medical care, psychiatric assessment, or emergency services. If there is immediate danger or a medical or psychiatric emergency, prioritize safety and seek appropriate emergency assistance.
