Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling with your mental wellbeing? You're not alone. WESH 2 is partnering with leading mental health organisations to host a vital phone bank, connecting Central Florida residents with the support and resources they need.

On [Date - insert date of phone bank here] from [Time - insert time of phone bank here], WESH 2 will be dedicated to helping viewers access crucial information and assistance. We’re bringing together the expertise of the Mental Health Association of Central Florida, NAMI Greater Orlando, and Lakewood Center to create a one-stop-shop for mental health support.

Why is Mental Health Support So Important?

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it often gets overlooked. Life in Central Florida, like anywhere else, can be demanding. Stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges are common, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. This phone bank aims to break down barriers to accessing care and ensure that everyone knows where to turn for support.

What Resources Will Be Available?

Our dedicated team of volunteers and representatives from the Mental Health Association of Central Florida, NAMI Greater Orlando, and Lakewood Center will be ready to answer your calls and provide information on a wide range of services, including:

  • Crisis hotlines and support lines: Immediate assistance when you need it most.
  • Therapy and counselling services: Finding qualified professionals to help you work through challenges.
  • Support groups: Connecting with others who understand what you're going through.
  • Educational resources: Learning more about mental health conditions and how to manage them.
  • Community programs: Discovering local initiatives that promote mental wellbeing.
