My friend has serious mental health issues. She has spiraled out of control in the past few days. I am scared for her safety! She is not listening to anyone.
I don't think her mental health team really knows what's going. Do I track them down and tell them? Do I just ring the police and say I have concerns about her welfare and have her admitted? If I do any of these will I still have a friend? Will it be forgivable?

Yes you can ring the police to do a welfare check. You could also call an ambulance. Another option is convincing her to report to the ebegency department or contact her local mental health emergency team. You can't speak to her mental health team unless she gives you permission.
It doesn't matter if it's forgive able or not. It's a medical emergency so keeping her alive is more important.
