How Do I Access Mental Health Services?
If you or someone you love needs help coping with a mental illness, there is help available. Go to your family doctor, your employee assistance officer, your school counselor or your minister. These individuals can refer you to a competent therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist with whom you can talk or from whom you can obtain appropriate support and/or services.
If such resources are not available to you, or if you do not have health insurance that covers treatment for mental illness, contact the MH Intake Unit at 717-393-0421.
They will arrange an appointment for an intake interview to determine your needs and financial liability. (Financial liability determines how much, if anything, you can afford to contribute to cost of services).
However, do not put off obtaining help, particularly in the case of threats of suicide or harm to others. In such emergency situations, call 911 or Crisis Intervention at 717-394-2631.
Additional assistance can be found on this list of Mental Health Resources, a verified list of resources confirmed by the ELANCO Mental Health Committee.
