Who is this for?
Anyone experiencing emotional distress, mental health challenges, or who needs someone to talk to. You do not need a diagnosis to seek help.
How help usually works
You can ask for help without a diagnosis. Options include crisis support, counseling and peer groups. Ask each provider about cost, appointments and the type of support it offers.
How to start
- For emotional distress or a crisis, call or text 988.
- For ongoing care, ask a counselor or clinic about openings, cost and remote visits.
- For a peer group, check its schedule, who it serves and whether you need to register.
What to bring
You do not need paperwork to contact 988. For an appointment, ask what to bring and whether your insurance is accepted.
