Hears voices or feels watched or followed, but is calm
Use when a calm guest says they hear voices, feel watched, followed or targeted, or believe things others don't, and they are not a danger to themselves or others right now.
In danger right now: call 911. Crisis or thoughts of suicide: call or text 988. Not sure where to start? Call the Silver City Gospel Mission: 575-388-5071. Police, fire or sheriff, not an emergency: 575-388-8840 (Central Dispatch). Print our list of phone numbers →
These are the same steps our staff use when they help someone. "They" means the person who needs help: you, or someone you are helping. Go in order, and call ahead when you can.
1Check for danger first
You can ask"Are the voices telling you to hurt yourself or anyone else?"
If yes, or they have a weapon or seem ready to act, call 911 and get Mission staff.
500 N. Hudson St., Unit 1953 (mailing), Silver City
