Instead of going to the Emergency Room, for mental health cases you can go to here if you are 18 years of age or older. As the Valley's only inpatient mental health facility, Community Behavioral Health Center provides 24-hour care to patients based on their individual level of need. Voluntary admittance as well as non-ambulatory patients capable of transferring themselves are both accepted.

The Exodus Fresno Mental Health Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) is a recovery focused environment where youth and adults in crisis can be assessed for stabilization services, medication evaluation and management, or hospitalization if necessary.
The (CSU) is LPS designated which allows our staff to evaluate and involuntarily detain those individuals determined to be a danger to themselves or others or gravely disabled. These clients will receive comprehensive mental health services for up to 24 hours while enrolled at the CSU
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. No appointment necessary.

Students in crisis during our business hours may come to the Student Health and Counseling Center and inform the front desk that they wish to be seen urgently by a counselor. They will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire for triage status, and if they meet criteria for a visit, they will be seen within one hour of their arrival.
