National Mental Health Resources

Help, Support & Crisis Resources When You Need Them.

You do not have to be a CareSync Psych patient to use the national resources on this page.

Whether you are experiencing a mental health crisis, looking for support for a loved one, trying to find specialized treatment, or simply need someone to talk with, national organizations can help connect you with support.

You do not have to wait until things become unbearable to reach out.

Many national resources support people experiencing emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship abuse, sexual violence, eating disorders, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other concerns.

If you are unsure where to begin, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline can also provide support for many forms of emotional distress—not only suicide.

Immediate Crisis Support

If you are struggling right now.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provides free, confidential support throughout the United States and its territories. You do not have to be suicidal to contact 988.

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for suicidal thoughts, mental health crises, emotional distress, substance-use concerns, relationship problems, loneliness, and other difficult situations.

Finding Professional Care

When you need more than crisis support.

If symptoms are persistent, worsening, interfering with daily life, or causing significant distress, consider connecting with a qualified mental health professional.

About This Resource Page

CareSync Psych provides these links as a convenience to help individuals and families locate national mental health, crisis, safety, and treatment resources.

These organizations are independent of CareSync Psych. Listing a resource does not establish a treatment relationship, constitute an endorsement of every service offered by that organization, or replace individualized medical or mental health care.

National resource information, phone numbers, websites, programs, and availability can change. If a resource is unavailable or your situation is urgent, use an appropriate emergency or crisis service.

CareSync Psych

You do not have to know exactly what kind of help you need before reaching out.
