If you called the Mobil crisis unit recommended above I'd be curious to know how they were and whether they handled things well. Since its a county agency you never know but sounds less risky than calling 911 and having cops without proper training for a mental health emergency swoop in. Ive been close to needing that kind of resource myself for a family member. Best wishes.
