Tell us what's going on and where in Virginia you are. Plain language is perfect.
We match by category, crisis level, location, insurance, language, and more.
Each recommendation includes who to call, where to go, what to expect, and why they're a match.
Call, text, or book directly. You are always in control.
InstantHelpVA can help you find resources quickly, but it is not a replacement for emergency services.
If you share signals of imminent harm, the system will recommend immediate crisis steps and higher-care options automatically.
InstantHelpVA is part of Amplify757, a community-run initiative focused on mental health access and crisis navigation across Virginia.
