Mental Health Help Line Aims To Increase Access to Care for Underserved Bay Area Residents
The Mental Health Triage Warm Line -- a San Francisco Department of Public Health project run by the Mental Health Association of San Francisco -- has taken more than 1,400 calls since its soft opening in August. The project is funded by a $1.2 million state grant and aims to increase access to mental health services for underserved Bay Area populations, such as individuals living in single-room-occupancy units, homeless people, youth and non-English speakers.
