If you are in distress, you can call or text 988 at any time. If it is an emergency, call 9-1-1 or go to your local emergency department.

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a way of providing support that focuses on understanding a person’s past experiences rather than judging their behavior. Instead of asking, “What is wrong with you?” TIC asks, “What happened to you?” This approach helps ensure that people get the care they need based on what they have been through.
