How to Get Help
Asking for help for a mental health or substance use disorder is sometimes the hardest thing you can do. But it's also the most important step toward recovery. Many mental health and substance use issues won't just go away on their own. You may need the help of professionals to get better. You may need special supports or medications to help you. You may benefit from talking to a professional counselor or to others in your situation. Whatever your problem, the important thing is to call and ask for help.
