Maine Mental Health Hotline
Free, confidential support for Maine residents — available 24/7.
⚠ Safety Notice
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911.
If you’re having thoughts of suicide or are in emotional crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
The Mental Health Hotline offers support and resources. It is not a substitute for emergency services.
This page lists Maine mental health hotlines, along with national lines that cover addiction and mental health concerns. Maine sits close to the national average for adults reporting frequent mental distress, meaning 14 or more difficult days a month, but the state has a higher suicide rate than the country as a whole among residents aged 10 and older, and higher rates of binge drinking.
Help is available. Anyone can experience a mental health condition or substance use problem — there is no profile for who deals with anxiety, depression or addiction.
Whether you are struggling day to day or facing a sudden crisis, the lines below are open to you. You can also use them if you are trying to get a diagnosis, or if you are worried about someone you love.
