Crisis Continuum
Crisis doesn't wait for business hours. Neither do we.
When you're in the middle of a mental health emergency, the last thing you should worry about is where to turn for help. That's exactly why Alliance Healthcare Services built the largest crisis continuum in Tennessee - so you always have somewhere safe to go.

Our Crisis Services – Every Level of Support You Need
Think of our crisis continuum like a bridge. We meet you wherever you are and help you get to where you need to be. No matter how intense the crisis, we have the right level of care.

More Than Crisis Response – We're Your Partners
Pre-Arrest Diversion
Working with Memphis Police CIT officers, we divert over 500 individuals monthly from jail to treatment. Because mental health challenges shouldn't be criminalized.

Our Crisis Assessment and Response to Emergencies Team pairs CIT officers, paramedics, and licensed mental health professionals. Operating 7 days a week, 8am-8pm, they provide on-scene assessment and immediate connection to resources.
