Crisis Management

Resources for Crisis

In the wake of the tragic killing of Walter Wallace, Jr., The College of Physicians of Philadelphia continues to unconditionally state that Black Lives Matter. As an educational and cultural institution dedicated to serving the Philadelphia community, we are deeply saddened by yet another avoidable deadly confrontation with police and urge everyone to approach issues of mental health with compassion and not violence.

Embracing our role and responsibility as a public health institution, we offer the resources below as a way for each individual to care for their loved ones, neighbors, and friends who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. At a time when many of us feel powerless, all we can do is care for those around us in the hopes that we emerge from this difficult chapter in our history as a stronger, more inclusive, and just community.
