Mental health check-ins
A mental health conversation can help you describe what is happening and identify support. The right setting depends on symptoms and safety.
What we can discuss
- Stress, mood and coping
- Sleep and daily function
- Existing treatment and side effects
- Appropriate ongoing support
A useful care conversation
Share how long you have felt this way and the effects on sleep, relationships and daily tasks. For an established treatment plan, discuss what is helping and any side effects. A clinician can help with coping strategies and next steps, including in-person or specialist care when needed.
When to seek more care
- For thoughts of suicide or urges to harm yourself, call or text 988 for immediate support. If there is immediate danger or a life-threatening situation, call 911.
- Seek prompt assessment for sudden changes or symptoms that make daily functioning difficult.
