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.

Self-help can be a ‘light-touch’ self-guided treatment prescribed by your doctor, or it can be when people take steps to solve their own problems or improve their lives without needing a lot of help from others. It’s about learning new skills, finding information, or using tools and resources to feel better, or achieve goals. For example, someone might read books, watch videos, or use apps to manage stress, build confidence, or learn new habits. It’s about taking control of your own well-being and personal growth.
