Help is all around: Mental health, financial resources in Abilene & beyond
ABILENE, Texas (BigCountryHomepage.com) – If you or your loved one is in need of mental health or financial help, BigCountryHomepage.com has put together a list of local resources to ease your concerns. Many of these resources cite financial flexibilities. You are not alone.
Beyond the listed resources below, the City of Abilene has a comprehensive guide to its Victim Assistance Program. There, you can find out how to get help with homelessness, victim services, criminal justice, and more. You can also dial 2-1-1 for Texas-based help and an operator will connect you to the appropriate avenues, or visit the website here.
The last thing to stress before we get into our local resources: 9-8-8. That is the dedicated national suicide and crisis lifeline. There is also a convenient internet chat line if you don’t wish or are unable to speak on the phone.
