By expanding crisis response services beyond hospital walls, CPH is strengthening access to behavioral health support and reinforcing its commitment to the health and well-being of the Kenai Peninsula community. How to access mobile crisis services Mobile crisis services are accessed by calling 911 or 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. When a call is placed, trained dispatchers provide immediate de-escalation and support by phone and assess the situation to determine the most appropriate response. If the MCT is needed and available, dispatch will alert the team to respond in person. This process helps ensure that the right level of care is delivered at the right time, while prioritizing safety and support. How to help someone cope with A PANIC ATTACK Find a quiet place to sit. This could be an empty room. Help the person control their breathing. Have them take slow breaths. Encourage them to seek treatment. Panic attacks can be caused by anxiety disorders or other medical conditions. Treatment can help. Be calm and supportive. Talk softly; let them know it will be OK.
