Community Resources

The quickest way to access services within your community is to call 2-1-1 from your phone or go to 2-1-1 USA and search online.

2-1-1 provides referrals to a wide array of human services in the areas of housing, unemployment, financial and legal issues, substance abuse, mental health, and domestic violence among others. To access a wide array of human services, please dial 2-1-1 from your telephone to be connected to your local 2-1-1 call center. 2-1-1 is a service that is available in almost every community across the United States to connect people with the services they need in their local communities.  

Anyone needing a referral to services can also chat with a Crisis Chat Specialist.  The Specialist may be able to assist you in finding a local resource or may refer you directly to call 2-1-1.

Crisis Chat provides emotional support in a time of crisis and it is not a substitute for therapy.  Effective treatment of depression and other mental health disorders has been recognized as most effective in preventing suicide. Treatment can include counseling, pscyhiatric care and other supportive services.  Chat Specialists may discuss the option of mental health treatment with you if they believe you may be suffering from any symptoms of a mental health disorder.
