Hennepin County (especially the suburbs)
COPE 612-596-1223
Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies (COPE) provides emergency intervention services 24-hours a day, 7 days per week, when an adult or child is experiencing an emotional crisis that threatens their personal safety. To access a COPE team, call 612-596-1223. COPE professionals will talk with the person in crisis to try to handle the immediate crisis by phone, or provide a clinical assessment in person. COPE can arrange for inpatient psychiatric services if necessary or admission to a crisis shelter (during which they also provide case management for a few days). Services are available to people whose crisis occurs in Hennepin County, especially the suburbs (there is a similar service for Minneapolis residents--911 and ask for the behavioral health crisis team). For COPE, clients do not need to reside in Hennepin County but need to be in Hennepin County at the time of the crisis in order to access the services.
