Mental health resources

If you or someone you know needs support NOW, call or text 988 to reach the suicide and crisis lifeline.

A public health crisis

The US Surgeon General has declared mental health the defining public health crisis of our time.

In 2023, more than 50,000 Americans died by suicide – more than any other year on record. If that statistic isn’t startling enough, one in five adults report living with a mental illness.

If you are one of these individuals, it’s important to remember you are not alone. In addition to the support offered by our Behavioral Health team, we have listed several resources available to help in your time of need.

Together, we will stop the stigma surrounding mental illness.
