Las Vegas Mental Health Resources
If you or someone you love is struggling, you don’t have to sort out the system before you can ask for help. Call the Mental Health Hotline at 866-903-3787 whenever you need to, and we can talk through what’s happening and help you find support that fits here in Las Vegas.
If this is an emergency
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.
If you are in emotional distress or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.
In Las Vegas, adults can walk in to the UMC Crisis Stabilization Center at any hour, or call 702-383-6200.
The Mental Health Hotline is an information and referral service. It is not a substitute for emergency services.
Las Vegas runs around the clock, and a lot of people here carry things quietly while the city keeps moving. If that is you, or someone you love, you don’t need a diagnosis, a referral or a crisis to deserve help. Feeling worn down for longer than you expected is reason enough to reach out.
There is now a place to go that isn’t an emergency room. The UMC Crisis Stabilization Center at 5409 E. Lake Mead Blvd. opened in 2025 and stays open every hour of every day for adults dealing with a mental health or substance use crisis. You can walk in without a referral, sit somewhere calmer than a waiting room, and leave with a plan, usually within the same day. And if gambling has become part of what is weighing on you or your family, the city has help built for exactly that: the Problem Gambling Center offers state-funded treatment and turns no one away over cost.
Paying for care is a real worry here. Roughly one in six working-age adults in Las Vegas has no health insurance, well above the rate for Nevada as a whole. The crisis center serves people regardless of ability to pay, NAMI Southern Nevada’s groups and peer sessions are free, and it is worth learning how mental health insurance coverage works before you decide something is out of reach.
You don’t need to know which of these is right before you reach out. Whether you’re calling for yourself or for someone you love, the Mental Health Hotline can help you sort through it at 866-903-3787. More Nevada mental health resources are gathered on the state page.

Where to Get Help in Las Vegas
Save these somewhere easy to find. A few are for the moments that feel like too much. Many more are for the ordinary stretches when you are tired of holding it together on your own, and that is a good enough reason to call. If you’re unsure what happens when you dial, here is what 988 actually does.
Mental Health in Las Vegas, by the Numbers
These three figures describe Las Vegas as a whole. They are here for context, not as a description of you or anyone you love, and none of them change the fact that help is worth reaching for today.
Figures come from the CDC PLACES 2025 release, which models city-level estimates from 2023 BRFSS survey responses for adults 18 and over. Las Vegas sits 9th of the 100 cities in this series for adults without health insurance, where 1 is the highest rate, against a Nevada median of 10.8 percent. Frequent mental distress means 14 or more days of poor mental health in the past month. Model-based estimates describe a population, not any one person in it.
You don’t have to have the right words or a clear plan before you call. Most people start with “I’m not sure where to begin,” and that is a perfectly good place to start. The Mental Health Hotline can talk it through with you and help you find the right next step in Las Vegas, at any hour. Call 866-903-3787 when you’re ready.
