CRISIS SUPPORT SERVICES

If you are (or someone you know is) experiencing an emergency or believe you are a danger to yourself and/or others, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for immediate assistance.

If you or someone you know are experiencing distress or a painful emotion and need support, please contact Hawai’i Cares below. You may also want to contact your medical provider. If you are contacting a medical provider for someone else, please know they are bound by HIPPA laws and will not be able to confirm/deny or follow up with you, but you can always call to share your experience.

For immediate local assistance:

Crisis Text Line
Text ALOHA to 741741
If you prefer texting over talking or are deaf or hard of hearing, the Crisis Text Line connects you with a crisis counselor who will invite you to share at your own pace.

Medical Cannabis impacts more than just patients in the state of Hawaii. Everyone has a part to play and the Department of Health encourages registered patients to be mindful of how their use of cannabis may impact others around them.

Be A Good Neighbor!

It’s NOT okay to drive a motor vehicle when under the influence of medical cannabis.
