The holiday season can bring joy, connection, and celebration—but it can also stir up difficult emotions, thoughts, or behaviors that impact mental health and substance use. You’re not alone, and support is always within reach.

If you or someone you love needs help, emergency behavioral health services remain available during this time. Community-based mobile crisis response teams provide 24/7/365 support for children and adults experiencing a psychiatric crisis.
