 Mental Health
Resource Toolkit
The WELL BEINGS campaign addresses the critical health needs in America through broadcast content, original digital content,
and impactful local events. The campaign begins with the YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT, engaging youth voices to create
a national conversation, raise awareness, address stigma and discrimination, and encourage compassion.

The multi-year campaign, created by WETA Washington, D.C., brings together partners from across the country, including
people with lived experience of health challenges, families, caregivers, teachers, medical and mental health professionals,
social service agencies, private foundations, filmmakers, corporations and media sponsors, to create awareness and resources
for better health for all. To learn more, visit WellBeings.org or follow @WellBeingsOrg on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and
join the conversation with #WellBeings.

Mental Health challenges come in many forms, from all walks of life. WELL BEINGS has put together this guide as a reference
to the resources that exist nationally and right in your backyard that are available to help you or someone you care about who
might be facing a Mental Health challenge.

If you are in crisis, or experiencing thoughts of suicide, please text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741) or call the
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Both services are free and available, 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.

                                                                                                                             2
LOCAL RESOURCES
There is help close to home. Below we highlight community organizations that specialize in the mental health
needs of those in the Greater Indianapolis region. Although this guide isn’t a complete list of all resources in
the area, it can serve as a reference if you’re looking for crisis providers and support organizations for youth,
teens, and adults in the Indianapolis area.
