The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration offers free access to mental health crises intervention services 24/7. Although SAMHS doesn’t directly provide crisis intervention counseling, they offer year-round mental health crisis support by connecting bereaved individuals to appropriate national hotlines, grief counseling service providers, and other local grief-related services.
Callers don’t need to be insured to receive a referral. SAMHS’s volunteers will match callers with the appropriate services and local organizations to help those who can’t otherwise afford to pay for these services.
