According to Mental Health America, last year South Carolina was ranked among the seven states with the least access to mental health care. This comes as heavy news since nearly 5% of all South Carolina residents suffers from serious mental illness, and the state routinely ranks among those with the highest prevalence of any form of mental illness. Furthermore, official data isn’t released for 2019 yet, but all indications show the numbers are going up. We want to help. The following hotlines are available to all residents of the Palmetto State, and the last two are available nationally. If you or someone you love needs help, please call whichever hotline is most suitable, and please call today.
