When you or someone you care about needs help, knowing who to call can make an overwhelming situation feel a little more manageable.<\/h4>\n
\n

In Wisconsin, three simple numbers can connect individuals and families with different levels of support: 211, 988 and 911.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each number serves a different purpose, from finding food or housing assistance to receiving immediate mental health crisis support or getting help during a life-threatening emergency. Knowing the difference can help you connect with the right resource at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Pillar Health, we believe this knowledge is an important part of whole-person care. Physical health, mental well-being and the circumstances affecting our daily lives are often interconnected. Knowing where to turn for immediate assistance, as well as where to find ongoing support, can make a meaningful difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>211: Information and Community Resources<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

When you need help finding services in your community but are not experiencing an immediate crisis or emergency, call 211.<\/span><\/p>\n

211 connects Wisconsin residents with information about local government and nonprofit resources. This can include assistance with food, housing and shelter, utilities, health care, government services, transportation, legal services, counseling and support groups, substance use and mental health resources, and disaster recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

For families experiencing financial strain, housing instability, difficulty accessing care or another challenge affecting their overall well-being, 211 can be a valuable place to begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>988: Mental Health, Substance Use and Emotional Crisis Support<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

When you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, emotional distress or thoughts of suicide, call or text 988.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provides free, confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Trained crisis counselors are available to listen, provide support and help connect individuals with additional resources when appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n

988 is not limited to suicidal thoughts. People can reach out for concerns including anxiety, depression, loneliness, trauma, bullying, relationship difficulties, substance use concerns or simply needing someone to talk to. You can also contact 988 when you are concerned about a loved one.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>911: Emergencies and Immediate Danger<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Call <\/span>911 when there is an immediate threat to someone’s health or safety<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This includes a medical emergency, fire, crime in progress, disaster response or another life-threatening situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

An easy way to remember the difference is:<\/span><\/p>\n

211 = Community Resources<\/b>
\n<\/b>988 = Mental Health & Crisis Support<\/b>
\n<\/b>911 = Emergency Response<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Support Doesn’t Have to Begin With a Crisis<\/h5>\n

Knowing what to do during a crisis is important, but mental health care doesn’t have to wait until someone reaches that point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mental health can influence decision-making, relationships, school, work and everyday life. At Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center, behavioral health is an important part of overall health. Our behavioral health providers collaborate with other members of the care team to help patients work toward their individual goals and address holistic wellness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Behavioral health services include <\/span>psiquiatr\u00eda<\/b><\/a> y <\/b>psicoterapia<\/b><\/a>, with support available for children, teens and adults. Services are designed to help individuals and families address mental health concerns, strengthen relationships, develop coping strategies and receive ongoing support through life’s challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

For children and teens, early support can be especially important. Changes in mood, behavior, sleep, school performance or relationships may be signs that a young person could benefit from additional support. Connecting children and adolescents with behavioral health care can help them develop tools for managing emotions and stress while supporting healthier relationships at home, at school and in the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adults and families can also benefit from having a trusted <\/span>behavioral health provider<\/span><\/a> to turn to. Support can help individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and other concerns before they become more difficult to manage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Whole-Person Care Means Looking at the Whole Picture<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

A person’s health doesn’t exist separately from the rest of their life. Mental health can be affected by housing instability, financial stress, relationships, physical health, substance use, access to transportation and many other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why knowing about community resources is important, and why having an ongoing relationship with health care and behavioral health providers can be equally valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you or a family member could benefit from behavioral health support, talk with your Pillar Health provider or connect directly with our behavioral health team.<\/span><\/p>\n
