What you can do now
Take these steps in order.
1
Call or text 988 when someone may be suicidal, is in emotional distress, or is experiencing a mental-health or substance-use crisis.
2
For an active attempt, urgent medical emergency, or immediate physical danger, contact emergency services.
3
Confirm the current Cass County intake or crisis location before traveling.
Use the state and county pages together
Missouri’s official directory identifies the contracted community provider serving Cass County. Cass County’s resource guide lists local behavioral-health contacts. Because programs can change, use those live pages and confirm services directly.
Crisis care versus continuing care
A crisis line or stabilization service addresses immediate safety; outpatient treatment and community support address what happens next. Ask for both an immediate plan and a follow-up plan.
For children and teenagers
State the child’s age and describe the immediate concern directly. Ask about youth-specific assessment, caregiver involvement, school coordination, and the next appointment before the handoff ends.
Transportation and rural distance
Cass County covers a large area. Confirm the exact location, travel time, intake window, and whether another nearby option is more appropriate before leaving.
