Community Resources

By State Representative Robin Bartleman

My office receives calls regarding numerous issues from housing and property insurance to mental health and school resources. We are always happy to help; however, when you or a loved one are in crisis, it is important that you have access to help 24 hours a day.

The phone number 211 Broward is 24-hour comprehensive helpline. This free and confidential service connects individuals and families to experts that can guide and assist them with help in health and human services within Broward County. In coordination with over 3,800 programs and nonprofit agencies, the helpline offers listening support, information, referrals, and crisis services in any language. The helpline can assist with mental health and substance use, military and veterans’ issues, general health and wellness, TeenSpace, child development, special needs connections, elder care, caregivers’ resources, disasters and emergencies, and more! On their website, you will find different ways to connect with a professional via call, text, online chat or email. You can also download the program’s app for quick access.

Additionally, a new phone number for the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline was established (988) to connect with counselors 24/7. In crisis situations, the counselor does not automatically call 911. Instead, the counselor connects with the caller by listening to their story to make them feel safe no matter the root of the problem. Although these helplines are valuable tools, they do not replace dialing 911 in case of an emergency.

Additional Mental Health Hotlines

No matter where you live in the country, there are several dedicated helplines available to you. • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: call 1-800-273-8255 or DIAL 988 • Veterans Crisis Line: call: 1-800-273-8255 and press 1 text: 838255 • Crisis Text Line: text the word ‘Home’ to 741-741

As always, I am here to help. Please reach out anytime at (954) 668-3662 or robin.bartleman@myfloridahouse.gov.
