What Johnson County publishes
The county’s Emergency Services page describes 988 and its local crisis line, mobile crisis teams, co-responder work, and Access to Care walk-in services. The crisis counselor can help determine which current pathway fits.
Mobile crisis response
The county states that mobile crisis response can be dispatched after assessment when appropriate, available, and consented to. A call does not guarantee dispatch; describe the situation directly and ask what to do while waiting.
Walk-in access
Johnson County publishes same-day Access to Care information, including locations and hours. Check the live county page before traveling because schedules and availability can change.
For children and teenagers
Tell the counselor the young person’s age, school situation, caregiver availability, and whether dangerous items or substances are present. Ask what youth-specific assessment and follow-up are available.
Before the call ends
Repeat the safety plan in your own words
Confirm whether someone should stay with the person
