You do not have to navigate this alone.
We created this page as a quiet, steady companion. National, U.S.-based resources you can trust, organized so you can find help quickly and gently. Take what you need, at your own pace.
Willow is a wellbeing companion, not a crisis service or medical provider. These resources are for information and support and do not replace professional care, diagnosis, or counseling.
If you or someone nearby may be in immediate danger, call 911 right away.
If you need someone to talk to now, you deserve support right now. These free, confidential options are available 24 hours a day in the United States.

This page is for information and support. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or crisis counseling. Willow does not replace professional care. If you need urgent help, please reach out to 911 or 988 right now.
Carefully reviewed local organizations and groups will live here.
We are building a small, vetted list of community-based resources that align with Soaring Spirits' values of compassion, dignity, and hope. No submissions, no unverified listings. Only groups we have personally reviewed and trust.
If you know a local organization that embodies this spirit of care, we would love to hear about it through our existing contact channels. We will review slowly and intentionally.
How we add listings
- Verify mission, safety practices, and community reputation
- Confirm contact methods and accessibility
- Add only when we would feel comfortable referring our own family
This space is intentionally empty until we have listings that meet that bar.
