crisis center
Urgent help facility
A crisis center is a facility or service providing immediate support to people experiencing emergencies—typically mental health crises, suicidal thoughts, or domestic violence.
Crisis centers offer phone hotlines, walk-in counseling, or temporary shelter: She called the crisis center after her husband hit her.
Staff are trained to de-escalate urgent situations and connect people with longer-term resources.
