New Mental Health Resources

Since I started my Mental Health Help page HERE, I have been contacted by various companies that have asked me to add their Mental Health resources to my page.   I’m thrilled that these people have reached out. Getting information for Mental Health help is not easy.  Resources are hard to find.  Below are some wonderful people that have asked me to add their information to my page.  Since these additions are new, I wanted to bring your attention to them.  Take a minute to look these over.  There may be something here that will be the right answer for you or someone you know.   

Illnesses and other tragedies can bring on Depression and other mental health problems.  The website Asbetos.com is sponsored by The Mesothelioma Center.  This wonderful website deals with not only Mesothelioma, but the Mental Health issues that often accompany a diagnosis.  You can find more information and resources HERE.  and HERE.

With locations in Florida, New Jersey and Indiana, the Boca Recovery Center focuses on addiction, pregnancy, eating disorders, and mental health issues.  You can reach them 24/7 at 1-800-516-4357 or email them at contact@bocarecoverycenter.com

In New York State, Niagara County, is the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.  716-278-4541 is the phone number for “The Wellness Connection Center.” Walk-in hours are 8-11 AM. They accept Medicare and Medicaid and also have sliding scale fees for others with private insurance if they find their co-pay to be too high.

*Do you have information about an organization that has help available to people with mental health concerns?  Or do you know of a hotline, crisis phone number, or website that I do not have listed on my Help Page? If so, please contact me and if it applies, I will add the information to my Mental Health Help page.  

The Suicide Prevention Hotline in the US, available 24/7, is 988.  If you have any problem with this #, please dial the old # 1-800-273-8255. 

Is talking to someone too much for you?  It was for me in the past.  There is a Crisis Text Line.  Text 741741 and you can text with a counselor.

Want to do an online chat?  There’s a site for that too.  Find it HERE.

You can even TWEET with a crisis counselor at @800273TALK on Twitter.

You can also find more information on my Mental Health Help page  HERE. 

As always, thank you for joining me on this journey. Penny ❤
