Crisis services in Minnesota

In light of the recent announcement by Canvas Health that as of June 30, 2018, Crisis Connection will no longer be providing telephone crisis counseling services, we feel it’s important to make sure providers are aware of crisis services available in Minnesota.

  • Minnesota has had and will continue to have 24/7 crisis services available across the state, available both by phone and in person by calling the appropriate county crisis phone number. A list of numbers can be found at mn.state/dhs/crisis,
  • In the metro area, people in crisis can call **CRISIS (274747) from a mobile phone. This mobile phone service will soon be available statewide.
  • Crisis Text Line is a text-based crisis line available 24/7. Text MN to 741741.
  • The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline will continue to be available without interruption at 800-273-TALK (8255).
  • We are working to make sure there is no interruption in Gambling Help Line services.

DHS is committed to continuing to improve access to crisis services in order to make it easier for people to get the help they need on a timely basis. Thank you for all you do!
