Mental Health Resources

Cultivating your mental health matters as much as maintaining your spiritual health. People often do not get help because they do not know where to start — so this page starts with the numbers to call.

If it is an emergency

If the situation is potentially life-threatening, call 911. They answer twenty-four hours a day.
