So, I have not tried it personally but the new national 988 number rolled out this summer is supposed to route to local crisis resources for yourself or someone else. But I am not sure whether they would be willing to take this type of call or not-- and I would think that the police would get called in either way given the situation you described.

But, perhaps if you route it via 988 there would be a higher likelihood of a mental health professional responding as well?

That’s the suicide hotline that a person would call if they’re personally dealing with feeling suicidal feelings. Not sure if the scope really expands beyond that.
