For those in crisis
For individuals with an acute mental illness, seriously disturbed thinking, or suicidal or homicidal thoughts, a brief stay in our psychiatric unit at Sacred Heart Medical
Center may be helpful. This acute psychiatric unit treats adolescents through elderly people experiencing psychiatric crises triggered by depression, bipolar disorders, psychotic disorders, results of trauma, or other causes.
Patients are treated by an interdisciplinary team including psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, counselors and recreation therapists. Patients are admitted through the Emergency Department or by arrangement with a primary care physician working with a psychiatrist. An Urgent Response Team (744-0828) is also available weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. to assist the public.

A key step in reducing suicide is to get those in need into treatment. Learn to recognize and respond to signs of suicide at

Stop a Suicide Today is a national effort to raise the awareness of the American public to the
“ACT” approach to suicide prevention:
- Acknowledge that your friend/loved one has a problem.
