Psychiatrists are uniquely qualified to understand the complex interrelation between mental and physical health since their training includes four years of medical school and at least three additional years in a psychiatric residency.

Crisis Hotlines

Crisis Hotlines Crisis services are available to any Arizona resident, regardless of health insurance coverage. If you or someone you know is experiencing a behavioral health crisis, please call one of these national or local crisis lines: 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline The new 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 across the US via phone, text, and chat (988lifeline.org) and will connect you to a trained crisis counselor. However, you may not get a local 988 center that can connect to local resources like a mobile crisis, especially if you’re calling from a cell phone with a non-Arizona area code. For now, we recommend calling your local crisis line directly if you need local resources. The Arizona Behavioral Health Crisis Line is available at 1-844-534-HOPE (4673) or by texting "4HOPE" for 24/7 crisis support, emergency mental health interventions, and referrals to treatment. While 988 is also an option, using the Arizona crisis line ensures connection to local services, especially for those with out-of-state area codes.
