Resources

Taking care of your mental health is crucial for your overall well-being. Yes, you too. When you’re going through a hard time, finding help can be tough, especially when you don’t feel safe interacting with systems. Wherever you are at the moment, there are resources available to support folks dealing with mental health issues, including crisis hotlines that aren’t directly linked to the police. And if you identify as LGBTQ+ or BIPOC, there are specific groups and organizations ready to help you too. You don’t have to face a crisis alone – professionals and groups are here to offer support and guidance. So if you or someone you know needs mental health support, don’t hesitate to reach out to these resources and ask them about their policies for interacting with law enforcement.
