Community Resources
At Tri-County Behavioral Health Collaborative, we know that mental health is connected to many parts of life, including family stress, housing, food, transportation, parenting support, grief, safety, school concerns, substance use, disability services, and social connection.
This page is a starting place for local resources that may be helpful for adults, caregivers, and families in St. Louis, Jefferson, and Franklin Counties. Some resources listed here provide direct services, while others can help you find the right next step. Tri-County Behavioral Health Collaborative does not operate or control these outside programs, and availability may change. Please contact each organization directly to confirm services, eligibility, hours, and cost. If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 911. If you are experiencing a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis, call or text 988 for immediate support.
