If you are in distress, you can call or text 988 at any time. If it is an emergency, call 9-1-1 or go to your local emergency department.

Recovery is the process of getting better after facing a challenge, illness, or difficult experience. It can refer to both physical health, like healing from an injury, and mental health, like working through stress, anxiety, or depression. A person with a mental disorder can feel mentally healthy – even if they still have a mental disorder. Recovery means gradually feeling better, finding ways to cope with difficulties, and improving your overall well-being. It’s different for everyone, and it often takes time, support, and effort.
