Veterans Affairs Mental Health

Crisis & Suicide Support · Ohio · Free

VA mental health services and resources for all veterans including LGBTQ+ veterans. Built for moments when you can't call a regular hotline — counselors are trained in LGBTQ+ identity and family rejection trauma. Chat and text options are available alongside phone for people who can't speak out loud safely. Specialized lines don't appear in your phone records as 'mental health' — most show as a regular national 800 number. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
