Mental Health & Support Links
Community and solidarity are the building blocks of a strong Union.
These links are intended as resources and the list is not exhaustive. If you do not see a resource for your city/region, please reach out to the closest one to you as many of them have additional regional resources listed as well. If you have suggestions for additions/changes to this list, please contact us at membership@ufcw175.com.
Don’t forget to follow us Facebook and Instagram
We put lots of resources on social media and focus on sharing from people and organizations that are working to create positive change and advance human rights.
