A drop-in emergency center for mental health is a facility where individuals experiencing a mental health crisis can receive immediate support and evaluation without an appointment.
These centers typically offer services such as crisis counseling, risk assessment, medication evaluation, and referrals to other mental health resources. They are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for people in acute distress.
