Important Resources By County
Please consider before contacting your local mental health department.
If you, or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, you may want to speak to a physician first since sometimes symptoms are related to a medical illness or to medications that are being taken. A physician can help determine how best to address individual issues and provide referrals to mental health specialists if appropriate. Individuals with health insurance can also call the toll-free numbers on the back of their insurance cards to learn how to access mental health services through insurance coverage.
But don’t hesitate to seek help. If a physician is not available, please know that crisis intervention services are available and can help you access local mental health programs.
The state’s Department of Consumer Affairs licenses many types of mental health care professionals, including physicians, psychologists, therapists and social workers. The Department’s online BreEZe program allows consumers to verify that a mental health professional’s license is in good standing, as well as review any possible disciplinary actions that a professional may have had filed against him or her in the past.
