RESOURCES & SUPPORT

Resources & Support

Mental health support doesn’t begin and end in the therapy room. This page includes trusted resources for crisis support, community services, mental health education, and additional support.

IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS

Immediate support is available.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger or experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Ascenzo Therapy does not provide 24/7 crisis or emergency services.
