Find What You Need
The only thing worse than going through a hard time…..is struggling by yourself. If you’re wrestling with something…..needing help and hope….. you’re not alone. We have compiled this list of national and local resources to assist you in finding help and support in your area of need. These listings are only suggestions for further exploration and do not necessarily indicate endorsement from JOY FM. Please contact the businesses directly to determine whether their beliefs are in alignment with your own and to find out more regarding their fees and insurance policies.
If you are in a crisis, facing mental health struggles, or have an immediate need to speak with someone, we encourage you to reach out and talk to a caring counselor at the 988 Lifeline. You are not alone.
