Your best bet to help someone in crisis in the community is to encourage them to reach out to a local hotline in whatever geographical region they're in (remembering that some folks are not in the U.S.). With your encouragement and support, that may be enough to get them to get more immediate help from folks who are trained to help them with their crisis.

We are not a crisis service, so we do not offer those kinds of help ourselves.

Best,
DocJohn
