The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has a webpage dedicated to Mental Health Resources and phone numbers for their help lines:
“If you are feeling emotionally distressed or overwhelmed due to COVID-19 news & developments, please call our 24/7 Help Line at (800) 854-7771 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-8255 for support.” https://dmh.lacounty.gov/covid-19-information/
On July 16, 2022, the new 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline went live. For those experiencing a mental health crisis, they can call or text 988 to receive 24/7 support and resources. Note: the (800) 273-8255 number remains operational even after the launch of the three-digit number 988, which is modeled after 911.
