May is Mental Health Awareness Month and here’s my message to anyone going through tough times:

Help is here.

24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anyone can call or text (833) 773-2445 or visit masshelpline.com.

This week, Maura Healey, Kim Driscoll and Kate Walsh got to visit two of our new Community Behavioral Health Centers.

Across MA, these centers provide immediate care for anyone going through a mental health or substance use crisis - no insurance needed.
