• All calls are strictly confidential.  

• ACI hotlines are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by behavioral health professionals who are available to provide assistance.

• Assistance may include phone contact, referrals to resources in the community, next-day behavioral health appointments, or a mobile response.  Mobile is defined as either going to the crisis location or to another secure community location.
