Feeling overwhelmed? You're not alone. Help is available 24/7. Call or text 988. Remember, recovery is possible. samhsa.gov/find-help/988 #SuicidePreventionMonth

Questions about mental health services should not include how to pay for them. While BHS serves the Medi-Cal population, we won't turn anyone away for their inability to pay. To schedule an assessment for yourself of someone you care about, call the Access Line at 209-468-9370.
