Today is —a reminder that whatever you’re facing, your reason for reaching out is reason enough.

You don’t have to wait until life feels unbearable to ask for support. The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available for moments of anxiety, loneliness, emotional distress, substance use concerns, relationship challenges or simply needing someone to talk to.

Call, text or chat 988 anytime to connect with free, confidential and judgment-free support. Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

At North Central Health Care, we believe everyone deserves to feel heard, supported and connected to hope. 💙
