Need Immediate Help?
CAREGD™ is not a crisis service, medical provider or emergency-response service. America Checks In™ is a human-connection movement — a check-in is a beginning, not a substitute for care.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. If you or someone you know needs immediate emotional or crisis support, call or text 988.
America Checks In™ and CAREGD™ are not emergency, medical, therapeutic or crisis-response services.
If someone may be in immediate danger
Call 911, or the emergency number for your area. Stay with the person if it is safe to do so.
If someone is in emotional distress or crisis
In the United States, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. It is free, confidential and available 24/7. More at 988lifeline.org.
If a conversation needs ongoing care
A licensed clinician, counselor or therapist provides care a check-in cannot replace. Employee assistance programs, campus counseling and student services may cover it, and a primary care provider can refer.
