Crisis Services

Any call to HHSI after normal business hours is answered by a professional medical answering service. After initial triage, when necessary, the answering service will arrange for telephone contact with a licensed behavioral health clinician to assist the caller within 10 minutes.

In the gravest of circumstances HHSI has the capacity to summon a mental health professional to the site (within a six town service area) of an unresolved crisis between 9am and 10pm. This ancillary capability also includes maintenance of an available respite bed within the HHSI system.

When calling after business hours, please call (203) 483-2630 and press 1 for immediate assistance.
