New York Times Guest Essay Recognizes the Importance of Mental Health Hotlines

New York, NY - Mental health has been a growing concern in recent years, with millions of individuals struggling with their mental well-being and in need of support. In an effort to provide access to crucial resources and support, The New York Times has published an essay that recognizes the importance of mental health hotlines.

​

The essay focuses on the experience of the Mental Health GPS program, a call-in line that has been instrumental in providing support to people in North Carolina. The program serves as a beacon of hope for people who need support but do not want or cannot confide in friends or family, or do not have access to traditional services. The confidential and independent nature of the hotline provides a much-needed point of contact for people, lowering the barrier to finding the support they need at a time when they have summoned the courage to do so.

The Mental Health GPS is a prime example of the positive impact that mental health hotlines can have on people's lives. The experience of the program highlights the need for more initiatives like it.
