Need urgent mental health support?

Go to your nearest emergency room or PES at SFGH if you are in crisis

  • If the situation is not an emergency but you think it may become one, please call the Department of Public Health’s 24-Hour Access helpline:
    • 415-255-3737
    • or 888-246-3333 or TDD 888-484-7200

Westside Community Services: Voluntary, drop-in service open to any adult in need of emergency psychiatric care.  The Clinic is designed to stabilize low-income residents in a mental health crisis and refer that person to an appropriate source for follow-up treatment.

  • Crisis clinic: Drop-In 245 11th Street
  • Mon-Fri (8am-2pm)
  • or call 415-355-0311

Dore Urgent Care: 24hr drop-in clinic that is a safe place staffed by nurses where you can spend the night if the clinic has capacity, and potentially be linked with longer term, voluntary care. Good idea to call ahead if possible, and try to bring any medications you need for the next 2 weeks if hoping to be connected to ongoing, residential treatment.
