Mental Health Resources

Find a PsychiatristA psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness and substance abuse disorders. Psychiatrists are uniquely qualified to understand the complex interrelation between mental and physical health since their training includes four years of medical school and at least three additional years in a psychiatric residency.

Crisis Hotlines Crisis services are available to any Arizona resident, regardless of health insurance coverage. If you or someone you know is experiencing a behavioral health crisis, please call one of these national or local crisis lines: 988 Suicide and Crsis Lifeline The new 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 across the US via phone, text, and chat (988lifeline.org) and will connect you to a trained crisis counselor. However, you may not get a local 988 center that can connect to local resources like mobile crisis, especially if you’re calling from a cell phone with a non-Arizona area code. For now, we recommend calling your local crisis line directly if you need local resources. COVID-19 Crisis Counseling
