(From Family Resource Center)

Family Resource Center (FRC) is expanding access to mental health crisis care in Hancock County by offering extended hours. Crisis services are now available seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., giving individuals and families more opportunity to receive help when they need it most.

This change is part of FRC’s ongoing effort to reduce barriers to care and ensure that people in crisis can connect with support outside of traditional business hours.

“We know that mental health crises don’t just happen from 9 to 5,” said Maria Cool, Crisis Supervisor at Family Resource Center. “By expanding our hours, we’re making sure people can get help when they need it, whether that’s at school, in the evening, on the weekend, or any day of the week.”

Crisis services are available to anyone in Hancock County experiencing a mental health crisis, or who may be concerned about a loved one. Trained professionals can provide immediate support including de-escalation, assessment, and connection to ongoing care as needed.
