Mental Health Resources

As a part of the initiative to provide resources on mental health, we have provided information in one central location for our community members.

 

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Dial 988

988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. A trained counselor will listen to callers, understand how the problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
