Understanding Mental Health Support
Mental health challenges are common — in any given year, approximately 1 in 5 American adults experiences a mental health condition. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and effective treatment is available for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and other conditions.
If you are unsure where to start, calling 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) is not just for people in immediate crisis. The counsellors there can also help you find local mental health resources, understand your insurance options, and make a plan to get the support you need.
For Arlington TX residents without insurance or with limited income, MHMR of Tarrant County and Crossroads Community Health Center both offer sliding-scale mental health services — meaning you pay only what you can afford. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.
If you are supporting someone else who is struggling, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Texas chapter offers free family support groups and education programmes. Call NAMI Texas at (512) 693-2000.
