If I meet a person whose mental state may present a danger to themselves or others , here is what i can do :
- Contact the psychiatry department where the person is being followed if they are known and are already being followed or their attending physician .
- Call SAMU (15) in case of imminent danger ;
- Accompany the person to the nearest hospital emergency department, if possible with a psychiatric emergency department.
👉 In Paris, it is also possible to contact the Psychiatric Orientation and Reception Center - CPOA (01 45 65 81 09) which can provide information and welcome the person in the event of an emergency.
