Mental Health Support

Mental and emotional well-being are essential parts of overall health, especially during times of stress or transition. Changes to benefits, financial pressures, or concerns about basic needs can take a toll on individuals and families. The City of Columbus recognizes the importance of mental health support and wants residents to know that help is available.

This page provides information on immediate crisis support as well as local resources for ongoing mental health care. If you or someone you care about is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or in need of support, these services can help connect you to trained professionals and community-based assistance.
