Mental Health Resources You Should Know About

Knowing where to turn for mental health support before you need it makes a real difference when a difficult moment actually arrives.

Crisis Resources

If you or someone you know is in immediate crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line in your country immediately — in the US, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Waiting until symptoms are severe before seeking any support is common, but earlier intervention is generally associated with better outcomes.

Getting Started: Practical Steps

• Save a crisis line number in your phone before you need it.
• Talk to a primary care provider as a first step if you're unsure where to start.
• Treat mental health support as maintenance, not just crisis response.
