Support that meets you where you are

If you or a loved one is facing a mental health challenge, calling 9-8-8 to connect with the San Diego Access and Crisis Line (ACL) can help. Even if you're not sure what kind of support you need, the ACL can help you figure it out.

The ACL isn't just for a crisis. Programs throughout the County can help if you or a loved one has been feeling emotionally overwhelmed, finding daily life difficult, or has substance use concerns. Anger, stress, or trouble sleeping can also be a sign you need support.

How to get support

You can call before things get heavy

No matter what you’re going through, you can reach out for support. Getting help early can keep challenges from feeling overwhelming later on.
