By Lauren Maxwell:Help is available for people experiencing a mental health crisis
Lessard said the Alaska Careline at 877-266-HELP is a crisis line for someone considering suicide or those who have questions about suicide. He said the 211 number operated by United Way can also direct Alaskans to local resources.

But if the person in crisis is violent or has a weapon, it’s best to call 911. Lessard recommends people ask for a CIT officer, short for Crisis Intervention Team. Officers on the team have been trained to work with people dealing with mental health issues.
