National Mental Health Month

In recognition of Mental Health Month, the HCMA is working to raise awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through older adulthood.

SAMHSA’s National Helpline,  1-800-662-HELP (4357)  (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service), or TTY:  1-800-487-4889  is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders. This service provides referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations.
