Free Mental Health Crisis Support Available to Public

Date: 09/01/21

Across Louisiana, thousands of families are reeling from the destruction left behind by Hurricane Ida. In the wake of this devastating event, we come together to support those who are suffering. Louisiana Healthcare Connections has established a 24-hour, toll free crisis hotline for individuals affected by Hurricane Ida.

If you were impacted by the hurricane and would like to speak to a licensed clinician, please call 1-866-595-8133 and follow the first prompt.

This line is staffed by licensed mental health professionals who provide counseling as well as referrals to other local resources. This service is free to the public; you do not have to be a member of Louisiana Healthcare Connections to call.

Remember: for a medical emergency, always dial 9-1-1 directly.
