Mental Health and Assistance Resources
Access depends on the specific program. Eligibility, services, costs, and the number of sessions vary by employer, school, veteran-service provider, or community organization. Living in a particular state does not automatically make a program available to you.
Find the program that fits your situation
Start with the organization connected to you, then confirm what it offers.
EAP · Employee Assistance
Ask your employer’s Human Resources or benefits office which EAP provider serves your workplace and what services are included. The EAP may be administered separately from your health insurance.
SAP · Student Assistance
Ask your school counselor, student-services office, college wellness center, or district administrator about the support available through your school.
Veteran Assistance
Requirements vary by VA, government, nonprofit, or community program. Find VA locations and services or visit the Veterans Crisis Line.
Community Assistance
Local organizations may have income, residency, age, or other requirements. Visit 211.org or dial 211 to find nearby services.
Before using a service: Contact the organization or benefits office to confirm eligibility, cost, coverage, provider details, and current availability.
