1. Hospitals
Most hospitals have mental health services which may include Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Social Workers and other professionals. Programs offered typically include:
- Outpatient programs, where one comes to the hospital for mental health services;
- Day treatment, or partial hospitalization programs, where a person comes for treatment for longer periods or more frequently, for more intensive therapy than one would receive from simply seeing an outpatient therapist or clinician;
- Inpatient programs, where a person is admitted to hospital in order to provide a high level of supervision and care until the condition improves enough so that the person can be treated as an outpatient.

3. Hospital Emergency Department
Is there an emergency such as medical or mental health emergency? If less intense options (e.g. calling a crisis line) are not possible or haven't helped, then it may be helpful to visit the local hospital Emergency Department. Typical mental health emergencies include:
* thoughts of suicide to the point where the person requires emergency help to keep them from ending their life;
* manic episode or psychosis where a person is behaving in an irrational way with inability to function.
