The Month of May has been Mental Health Awareness Month, since first designated in 1949. Individuals and organizations across the country step up to raise awareness of and help address the challenges faced by people living with mental health conditions.
Despite recent strides in how our society approaches mental well-being, many Americans still don’t have access to the high-quality, comprehensive treatment and care they need.
Where Can I Find Mental Health Resources?
Help is out there, and hope is possible. Here are some free resources to lean on if you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health and/or substance use crisis:
SAMHSA’s National Helpline is a 24/7 treatment referral and information service.
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers 24/7, confidential support for people in distress.
The Trevor Project provides 24/7 crisis support services to LGBTQ+ young people.
FindTreatment.gov helps people seek treatment for mental and substance use disorders.
National Institute of Mental Health outlines additional mental health services.
