NAMI’s 2025 “Navigating a Mental Health Crisis” Guide

The national NAMI organization developed the 2025 “Navigating a Mental Health Crisis” guide to provide important, sometimes lifesaving, information to people experiencing mental health crises, their friends, and their families. The detailed guide outlines what can contribute to a crisis, warning signs that a crisis is emerging, strategies to help de-escalate a crisis, and resources that may be available for those affected.
