We strive to ensure you get the help you need. There are lots of resources out there which will connect you to the help you need. Our 988 Lifeline is a great place to start.

difficult times on your own."

Our goal is to provide support and help you find options to move forward.

If you are concerned that you may be in danger of hurting yourself, please call 988 right away. If you prefer to communicate via text, you can text 988 as well. We are available 24/7.
