Finding the right mental health support can be overwhelming.
Fishers Health Department’s free Mental Health Navigation service gives you a place to start.
Our Mental Health Support Specialist provides free, one-on-one help understanding your options, finding resources and providers, and determining next steps for yourself, your child or someone you care about.
How We Can Help
You don’t have to know exactly what kind of support you need before reaching out.
The Mental Health Support Specialist can help you:
- Talk through what you or a loved one are experiencing
- Identify possible next steps
- Find mental health providers and community resources
- Connect with services through referrals and warm handoffs
- Follow up when additional support is needed
Support may be helpful for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, low mood or other mental health needs. You do not need to be in crisis or already have a diagnosis to use the service.
Who Can Use This Service?
Free Mental Health Navigation is available to people seeking support for:
- Themselves
- A child or teen
- A spouse or partner
- An aging parent
- Another family member or loved one
Parents and caregivers can also use the service when they are unsure what type of support their child or loved one may need. You do not need to be a Fishers resident to use this service; it is available to everyone.
What to Expect
Appointments are one-on-one and focused on your needs. During your appointment, the Mental Health Support Specialist will:
- Talk with you about your concerns.
- Help you understand available options and identify resources or providers that may be a good fit.
- Help make connections or referrals when appropriate.
- Follow up if additional support is needed.
Is This Therapy?
No. Mental Health Navigation does not provide therapy, psychiatric care, medication management or other clinical treatment. The service is designed to help you understand your options and connect with the right level of support.
Mental health support does not have to start at a crisis point. The Mental Health Support Specialist can also help with early concerns that may not require therapy, medication or other clinical care.
