First Lady Casey DeSantis with the Department of Health (DOH), Department of Children and Families (DCF), and State Disaster Recovery Mental Health Coordinator Sara Newhouse have deployed free mental health resources to communities impacted by Hurricane Ian.
Resilient Floridians and First Responders can visit this site to see a compilation of all mental health resources available to them.
BetterHelp is offering 3 months of free online therapy. Visit BetterHelp.com/voucher and use code: HurricaneIan. Visitors to BetterHelp’s site will be prompted to answer a questionnaire that will match those impacted residents with a licensed mental health professional.
Hurricane Ian survivors can speak with families who have recovered from Hurricane Michael, who are well acquainted with the road to rebuilding after loss, by calling the Family Support Line at 888-850-SWFL.
Peer support is available 24/7 to all Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) members and their families through FHP’s Peer Support Team and the FHP Wellness App to support their overall wellness.
DCF has created a First Responder Support Line (407-823-1657). This line combines current resources into a single point of contact that will connect first responders with mental health professionals.
