Mental and Behavioral Health and Wellness Resources

A mental health crisis can take many forms and is more common than you may think. Generally, a mental health crisis is a period of intense difficulty or instability that can't be resolved without the help of trained professionals. A mental health crisis does not always mean someone is a danger to themselves or others. Just remember when life gets overwhelming, it helps to know you are never alone. This page includes resources that can make it little easier to find help!
