HELP WITH EMERGENCY OR CRISIS SITUATIONS;


First of all, there is always 911. Here are some other lines you can call if it is less of an
emergency situation:


Dept. of Mental Health 24-hr. Access Line: 800-854-7771., if you need assistance after 5 PM or on the weekends.

The DMH Psychiatric Mobile Response Team: 626-258-2004 is for crisis management.

Suicide Prevention:

It’s very important to take any thoughts or talk of suicide seriously. If you or someone you care about is suicidal, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. IN A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY, CALL 911.

Panic hotline. It is a suicide prevention hotline as well;

1- 800-64-panic (24 hours)

Here are some other help lines for less serious problems and when you need to
Just talk;

Community Help Line - 1-877-541-2525

The Hotline - 1-562-596-5548

The New Hope Line - 1-714-639-4673 (24 hours)

As far as I know they are all current and still good. I have tried most of them. There was one that I had trouble getting through on, but I do not recall which one. As you can see, a couple of them are not toll free. If you call that number, you may want to ask for a toll-free number, if they have one.


There are also many on-line help/support sites for assistance, such as for survivors of abuse, or grieving. A few that I have used and found somewhat helpful are;

ISURVIVE- http://www.isurvive.org/
(for survivors of abuse)


DailyStrength- http://dailystrength.org/support-groups/Death_Dying/Bereavement

(for bereavement)


The following website has an online chat service, with a real person who is a volunteer for crisis counseling; (Thank you Abigail - Heavensdaughter - for alerting me to this invaluable resource!) It is anonymous as far as I know.

Help with Social Security Disability in the United States

http://www.allsup.com/about-ssdi/ssdi-guidelines-by-disability.aspx
(Use this company at your own risk. I do not know them; but they look legitimate. I cannot be help responsible for the outcome. Also, there are many other services that help people get their social security benefits. They are not supposed to charge more than $5,000, and on contingency. If you win the case, you will receive the back-pay from when your case was originally filed. This is what the fee is taken out of with the Social Security Administration's approval.
Or, you may find another advocacy service. I used Binder and Binder. There are many others. I believe that Social Services has free advocacy services to help people apply for their SDI benefits. You may try applying yourself directly through the Social Security Administration; but it is often denied the first time and needs to be appealed, even with legal representation. It can be a long process, (sometimes up to two years, ) to get approved - but it is well worth it to get the help you need. This is for the United States. I do not know about services in other countries...
