For Referrals

We accept referrals from healthcare providers before patients schedule an appointment. We do not require a referral for all programs and services. 

For Mental Health Emergencies

If your child has a mental health emergency, follow these steps. If you still need help, go to the next step. If your child’s mental health emergency is life-threatening, get care right away (step 4).

  1. Call your child's outpatient or community mental health provider.
  2. Call 988, The National Suicide and Prevention Hotline
  3. Call PIRC at 513-636-4124. We will let you know what you need to do for your child.
  4. Take your child directly to an Emergency Department for a mental health evaluation, or call 911.
