During The Holidays (And Every Day) Dial 2-1-1 For Support
The Children's Services Council of Broward County (CSC) reminds residents who are experiencing emotional distress to call 2-1-1 for help or access 211Broward.org for a list of providers and professionals serving children and adults with behavioral health issues.
People contact the INFOLine for many different issues, such as:
- feeling anxious or sad
- disruptive behaviors
- eating disorders
- alcohol or drug use
- feelings of depression or suicide
The 24-hour Behavioral Health INFOLine provides free, confidential emotional support, crisis intervention, and information and referrals to mental health services, substance abuse prevention and treatment programs, and other behavioral health services.
Coalition, and Castle Group, are among those who sponsored the effort.
