Announcing the New Mexico Healthcare Worker and First Responder Support Line
Updated December 23, 2021
The State of New Mexico has launched a support line specifically for healthcare workers and first responders. The line is available 24/7 to support those on the front lines of the state’s pandemic response and connect them to a professional counselor.
The reasons to call might include:
- Facing challenges at work or home due to the COVID-19 pandemic
- Experiencing stress, fear, anxiety, sadness, or depression about the essential work you are doing to support people
- The emotional impact of isolation due to physical distancing
- Need to talk to someone about experiences you are feeling, seeing, and hearing about due to the pandemic
- You can also call to talk about how to help a friend, colleague, or family member that you are concerned about
The line is answered by professional counselors at the New Mexico Crisis and Access Line , a statewide crisis line offering mental health crisis assessment, intervention, stabilization, and referrals to New Mexicans 24/7/365.
