As we near the end of the month, let us remember that May is Mental Health Awareness Month and offer some resources:
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a national network of local crisis centers that provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress, 24/7. Call or text 9-8–8, or visit 988lifeline.org/chat to speak with a counselor.
You can also visit the CFS Community Behavioral Health Center at 965 Church Street. Knowing #WhereToStart is the 1st step in your or someone else’s mental health journey.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health emergency, call the crisis line (available 24/7) at (508) 996-3154.”-City of New Bedford Police Department.
