Here are community resources available if you are in need of mental health services for yourself or a family member.

If there is an emergency and you need to see or talk to someone right away, please:

• Talk to your parents or another trusted adult.
• Call Nationwide Children's Hospital Crisis Hotline (17 & younger) at 614-722-1800
• Call Netcare Crisis Hotline (18 and older) at 614-276-2273
• Call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 or
• Text the Crisis Text line by sending a text message to 741741. (If you text “4hope” you should automatically be connected to someone in Ohio, but you can text anything - even just hello to get the conversation started.)
• If you are having an immediate emergency, please call 911.
• All of these options are available 24/7/365

If you are looking to be connected with an outside counselor for non-emergency mental health services, please utilize:

• Your pediatrician/ doctor for a referral
• Your insurance for approved provider lists
• Psychology Today’s search tool, or
• Ohio State University’s Community Provider Database search tool
• Ohio Mental Health Resource Guide for Franklin County
