Call 911, anybody with a weapon the police need to secure the scene. The police also have a couple of social workers from the Providence center that ride around with them in a few of the patrol cars. Anyone else you call will end up backing up when they see the knife and calling for PD always, so all you would be doing is delaying them getting help and increasing the chance of them or someone else getting hurt.

Hey, since you didn't get an answer, this kind of service varies on a local level. My local police force has social workers on staff. The nearest city to me (Boston) has a mental health crisis hotline (1-877-382-1609). In the U.S., I'd check your state's website for emergency numbers to keep on hand. You could also call the largest hospital in your area; they should be able to get you to mental health services. In a pinch, a lot of churches also have counselors on staff, who know the area and can connect you to resources. You don't have to be a believer to get assistance, a quick call the the church office might get you info.

There’s also BH Link, but I believe people need to self-present (or be transported there): 401-414-5465

These types of events are almost always a shit-show: pay a bunch of money to stand in long lines full of other people who are pissed off at having spent a bunch of money to stand in a long line.

This must be before they started putting the zoom cams in the Galaxys. My Ultra 21 has an optical 10x zoom and its pretty mind blowing.

The Providence Center staffs Providence’s crisis line. Their emergency line is 401-274-7111

That’s not the problem with the mental health Professionals. That’s the problem with us as a capitalist society not prioritizing the money we need for people who help over self righteous assholes with guns

And spending a LOT more time on the road unless you’re somehow able to avoid 7-10am and 4-7pm

Did it. Hated the loss of time, not just on the train but driving to the train and paying for parking to take the train. I wouldn’t do this again.

If you and your SO commute together that could be nice

I take amtrak. Door-to-door is hour and a half. Im in the office from 8am-3pm. 340 for the amtrak tix, 140 to park at the mall and 100 redline mbta cost = $580/mo.

What is your door to door time? Overall cost of the parking/train per month?

Oh. Haha. Right. Sorry

I do this 5 days a week but I highly suggest renting for a year and testing the commute out. As you can tell by the rest of these comments some people hate it, some people find it manageable.

Look at other expenses too - insurance and taxes are higher. My auto insurance doubled going to RI 5 miles away from Attleboro

No, houses in Cumberland should not cost 700k and it's all the Boston commuters that have made it that much as it is

It make stops but people have commented they had no seats.

I’ve had no issue getting a seat from either of those directions/stops. they do offer certain runs with less stops now though.

Samsung 2 years from release, it's on a zoom which always sucks.

You have a good day now. And good luck to you.

It's an abbreviation for "Significant Other" Whoops. SHould have clarified.

Great job adding nothing to the discussion. I'm sure you do a lot of that.

What is “SO”?

Thank you
