TUCSON, Ariz. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today launched FindSupport.gov to increase access to mental health and substance use resources. This new website will help people identify available resources, explore information about various treatment options, and learn how to reach out to get the support they need for issues related to mental health, drugs or alcohol.

“Knowing where to start to look for help is a huge challenge for individuals and families needing help with drugs, alcohol or mental health issues. This new website gives people that critical starting point so they can get connected with the help they need.  I applaud the Biden administration’s work to take urgent action to address the mental health and substance abuse challenges our communities are facing,” said Rep. Grijalva. “This Mental Health Awareness Month, we recommit ourselves to ending the stigma and providing support to those that need it no matter where they are on their mental health journey.”

FindSupport.gov also helps provide information on how to find treatment and support options based on insurance or coverage status, including Medicaid, Medicare, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health care, TRICARE, private insurance, and no insurance. It also features resources on how set up an appointment so that when people meet with a health care professional, they can feel confident that they are taking the right steps.

An instructional guide video on how to use the website is available here..
