Behavioral Health Resources
Helene Response and Behavioral Health: In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many in our community are facing tough challenges. You don’t have to navigate this alone—support is here. If you or someone you know is struggling or in a crisis, help is available.
You can call or text 9-8-8, or chat at www.988Lifeline.org to reach a trained counselor who can provide support in a mental health, substance use or suicide crisis. Visit the Behavioral Health & Recovery Resources page for additional updates and information for support.
