Government Shutdown Resources and Support


A federal government shutdown can be stressful. You are not alone; mental health affects all of us! It is okay to ask for help; there are resources to support you. Below is a collection of nationally available resources you can use at any time at no cost. You can also contact your local Veterans Service Organizations, Military Service Organizations, and community care providers for assistance.
