Needing urgent help?
In a crisis situation?

Although Dr Yvette Vardy is typically unable to respond to urgent life-threatening issues right as they are happening, she does not want you to suffer alone or without help. There are a number of services that are available 24/7 to help you get through a crisis. These services are invaluable for helping you survive and get through a very difficult time, no matter what the hour of the day.
