Minnesota Mental Health Hotline
Free, confidential support for Minnesota 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.
If you or someone you love is dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use or another mental health concern, you are not alone. The Minnesota Department of Human Services reports that one in five Minnesotans reaches out for mental health services each year.
Minnesota Department of Health research found that about 8.7% of adults in the state had at least 14 days of poor mental health in the previous month, with higher rates among women than men, and higher still among women aged 18 to 24.
Minnesota funds services that are free to contact, confidential and open to all residents. You do not have to work through it in silence — whether you need support today, want to get a diagnosis, or are worried about someone else.
