A new toll-free, mental health hot line is now available to assist callers with emotional or substance abuse problems. The hot line can be reached from every state by dialing 1-800-422-4PMG (PMG stands for Professional Mental Health Group, the organization coordinating the hot line.) Callers will be able to speak with licensed psychiatric nurses, social workers, clinical psychologists or psychiatrists, according to their needs.
In addition to providing callers with crisis counseling, the 7-day-a-week, 24-hour hot line will serve as a referral service for follow-up care and resources within the community.
