Community Resources and Support Toolkit

Breaking cycles often requires a community of support. Below is a curated list of crisis, local, and identity-based resources. These tools are provided for your support and education.

Immediate Crisis Support

24/7 Crisis Support

These are national standards that have used the same contact methods for years and are unlikely to change.

Inland Empire & Local Support

To keep these "evergreen," I have linked to the main county and regional portals rather than individual office pages.

  • Connect IE

    • The most reliable "all-in-one" directory for food, housing, and health in Ontario, CA and surrounding areas.

    • Link: connectie.org

  • IEHP Behavioral Health

    • For those with Inland Empire Health Plan, this is the primary portal for local care coordination.

  • San Bernardino County Behavioral Health

Specialized & Identity-Based Support

These organizations are the "gold standards" for their niches and rarely change their web addresses.

  • Asian Mental Health Collective

    • Dedicated to making mental health support easily available and approachable for the Asian community worldwide. Link: asianmhc.org

  • BEAM (Black Emotional and Mental Health)

  • HeadsUpGuys (Men’s Mental Health)

These resources are meant to support you in the immediate moment. If you feel ready to go deeper and begin the long-term work of unhooking from the past and building your own intentional legacy, I am here to help
