Per the New Mexico Department of Health, around 20% of state residents have at some point been diagnosed with depression. Furthermore, around 40% of New Mexico’s student body reports feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness. In a country where less than half of those struggling with mental health issues actually ever seek assistance, mostly due to high costs, we want to offer a helping hand.
Here are three completely free and confidential resources that any Albuquerque resident (or any New Mexico resident for that matter) can utilize. Professionally trained mental health specialists are standing by. Call today and explore your options.
