Have you heard about our 24-hour emergency services?
Our mission is to support people and save lives during times of crisis through caring and confidential conversations.
We do this by providing the community with free and confidential crisis and suicide prevention services through gentle and understanding discussions of crisis resolutions, and referrals to appropriate community resources.
ComWell defines a crisis as someone experiencing hopelessness, dangerous psychosis, delusions, thoughts of self-harm or thoughts of causing harm to others. ComWell’s crisis services are not intended to replace long-term counseling or individual therapy.
We have trained professional staff that are available 24/7. Our compassionate staff will assist you with finding the most supportive resources on your journey to recovery. We will coordinate your care with your family, physician as well as anyone else who may provide guidance and the best possible care for you. We are here whenever you need us, day or night. It is important to know that staff within our crisis program provide on-going support to the individual or family in crisis to ensure that the crisis situation has resolved and the family or individual has been linked with services that will prevent a future crisis from occurring.
ComWell works with adults, children, and families in crisis; our Comprehensive Community Based Youth Services (CCBYS) funding allows us the opportunity to help prevent youth from running away from home or by being locked out by family by providing services to stabilize the family and help them resolve the issue that led to the crisis situation.
Call4Calm is a free anonymous program to reduce barriers to mental health services in an effort to support residents. Once an individual sends a text to the hotline, they will receive a call from a ComWell counselor within 24 hours. ComWell partnered with the Illinois Department of Human Services’ Mental Health Division to support residents experiencing stress and mental health issues. Text “TALK” or “HABLAR” to 5-5-2-0-2-0.
