Call 988When we are closed
Our phone is answered during office hours only. You can leave a message, and we return calls on business days. A message is not a crisis response.
Worried, but not an emergency
Call your child's pediatrician, or call us during office hours. We can talk about what you are seeing and whether a visit makes sense.

Stay with your child. Keep medicines and anything that could cause harm out of reach, and lock away any firearms. Tell your child you are glad they told you, and that you are getting help.
If you are not sure whether something is an emergency, call 988 and ask. The people who answer will help you decide what to do next.
