Fortunately, there are a wide range of treatments and supports. Unfortunately, they can be hard to find or pay for, but know there are resources available, no matter your situation. MENTAL HEALTH AMERICA and NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) are two great starting points. Think you’re at risk? Try a mental health screening tool. Taking the time to learn about types of mental health and where you can get help is important and very available. Visit this site to get started with resources, screening tools and support options. WORK WITH A PROVIDER Whether you see a therapist, a psychiatrist, or a peer, your relationship with that provider is important. Remember, you’re in charge of the relationship with your provider. Make sure they know your needs wishes in a time of crisis. THERE WILL BE BUMPS IN THE ROAD The mental health system can be tricky. If your insurance company has denied your treatment plan, if you’re unsatisfied with your treatment, or if you need help with medication check out Mental Health America’s FAQs. SEEK MORE THAN MEDICAL TREATMENT Getting help for your mental health or substance use condition is about more than therapy and medication. You might also need situational assistance - housing, caregiver support, parenting support and relationships counseling. There is always hope and help; you are not alone, mental health conditions are treatable, and you can recover your life. Friends and loved ones can also find information about how best to support you in your journey to recovery and wellness. STAYING WELL Regardless of whether you have a mental health or substance use condition, you can live your life well. Wellness tools are for everyone and can make a big impact on how you feel.
