Mental Health & Depression — Resource Guide
Curated by Michael Fox Insurance
Printed June 18, 2026
Mental health & depression resource hub
Mental health is health. Help is real, and it works — for you and the people who love you.
This page is deeply personal to me. I lost one of my best friends to suicide — and that loss shapes why I built this resource. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or supporting someone in crisis, this page gathers the most trusted helplines, therapy resources, financial aid, and family support in one place. If you're hurting right now, please reach out. You matter, and help is real.
If this is a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

A note from Michael
You don't have to face Mental Health & Depression alone.
I built this hub because watching my own family navigate a serious diagnosis showed me how hard it is to find trustworthy help when you need it most. If something here eases the load — even a little — it's worth it.
When you're ready to talk about protecting your family financially, I'm here — no pressure, no cost.
