Crisis Services

If you believe your life or somenone else’s life is in imminent danger, please call 911.

CAPS offers 24/7 crisis services with our on-call counselor. Call CAPS at 402.472.7450 and press “4” to speak with the counselor on duty at any time. These services provide an opportunity to speak with a counselor about an immediate crisis, get support and develop a plan to help you manage your crisis.

You decide how you define “crisis.” Examples might include:

• Suicidal thoughts, intent, plan, and/or other risks of harm to yourself.
• Homicidal thoughts, intent, plan, and/or other risks of harm to others.
• A traumatic event occurred recently (e.g., a crime, natural disaster, sexual or physical assault).
• Someone close to you has recently died.
• Perceptual disturbances such as hearing things or seeing things that others do not hear or see.
• Feeling persistently unsafe, a sense of impending doom or danger, or that something or someone wants to hurt you or is out to get you.
• Currently living without food, clothing, and/or shelter.
• Unable to care for yourself, such as not eating or sleeping for several days.
• Having withdrawal symptoms from drugs or alcohol (call 911 for medical assistance).

We’re always here to help! If you’re having a crisis during our regular business hours and want to walk in for crisis services, please call our office at 402.472.7450. Please note that this option functions like an urgent care clinic where there may be a wait up to one hour.
