For United States residents, if you or a loved one is in need of immediate mental health assistance or related-referrals please dial or text the 988 hotline. In the event of any emergency situation, you may also dial 911.
In the future, I will include additional resources I have found useful here, but for the time being, you may dial 211 in most states or utilize your prefered search engine to access community resources or referrals.
Note: Accessing or attempting to find the appropriate resource or referral can be a deeply emotional, frustrating process. I know. I have been there! Stay strong and get help from someone safe.
To my international readers, I will do further research when I can, but until then please search online for local or international helplines or talk to a trusted friend, family member, spiritual leader, or healthcare professional within your community.
Thank you, and I am rooting for you!
Dare to Mend,
Michelle
