In Case of Emergency

WellPower Therapeutic Psychology does NOT provide emergency care.

In an emergency, CALL 911 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department or psychiatric hospital if someone can get you there safely. 

Imminent danger of harm to self or others is considered an emergency. Always allow experts to assist you. Many law enforcement agencies have a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) trained to assist with psychiatric emergencies and get you the help you need.

If you are the victim of a sexual assault, do not shower or change clothes. Go immediately to the nearest emergency department of a medical hospital.  Do this even if you do not intend to press charges.

  • Always get emergency care first—get to a safe place! Call 911 for assistance.
  • Call (919) 475-2127 to notify your provider once you are safe. Usually this will be after you have been admitted to the hospital or discharged from the emergency department.
