Does not cover: Inpatient psychiatric hospitalization (call 988 or 911 for crisis). For substance use treatment, see Substance Use & Recovery.

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.

When help can start: Crisis lines and scheduled care work differently. Wait times and appointment openings vary; no listing reserves a place.

How to start

  1. For emotional distress or a crisis, call or text 988.
  2. For ongoing care, ask a counselor or clinic about openings, cost and remote visits.
  3. 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.

If you need help soon

For a life-threatening emergency, call 911. For emotional support, call or text 988.
