Give an Hour

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Give an Hour providers are licensed mental health professionals who have agreed to provide services in their areas of expertise. They generously donate one hour per week for a minimum of one year to provide mental health support at no charge to our clients.

Our providers are aware that Give an Hour is a nonpolitical organization whose mission is to harness the skill and expertise of volunteer professionals to increase the likelihood that those in need will receive the support and care they deserve. Since 2005, we have focused on assisting military personnel and their families as they cope with the effects of their time in the service.

In 2016, we began expanding our efforts to address the mental health needs of additional populations. Give an Hour® providers agree to conduct their practice using the highest ethical standards and to respect and honor the dignity and individuality of those who seek their assistance from our approved populations.

We do not prescreen mental health professionals who join our network. We do verify that they are licensed and in good standing in their stated profession. We expect you to take all precautions to ensure that your relationship with a provider is safe and successful.

Give an Hour® specifically disclaims all warranties and liabilities regarding its providers.

Information on how to recognize distress and its effects on individuals and families

Referrals to local crisis call centers for additional follow-up care and support

There is no need to give any identifying information when you contact DDH. The counselor may ask you for some basic information at the end of the call, but these questions are optional and intended to help SAMHSA keep track of the types of calls it receives.

Who Can Call the Disaster Distress Helpline?

The helpline is open to anyone experiencing emotional distress related to disasters. This includes survivors of disasters; loved ones of victims; first responders; rescue, recovery, and relief workers; clergy; and parents and caregivers. You may call for yourself or on behalf of someone else.

Mobile Apps: COVID Coach

The COVID Coach app was created for everyone, including Veterans and Servicemembers, to support self-care and overall mental health during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Features include:

Education about coping during the pandemic

Tools for self-care and to improve emotional well-being

COVID Coach can be used as a stand-alone education and self-care tool, or as a supplement to professional mental health care.

Several of the questionnaires used in COVID Coach, including the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5), are reliable and valid self-report measures used across VA, Department of Defense (DoD), and the community, but they are not intended to replace professional evaluation.

For those who are experiencing grief

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When someone you love dies, it creates a gap. A chasm. Something missing where their memory lives.
We've been there and that's why we're here.
Bo's Place exists to help those grieving, and those assisting the bereaved, find the support they need.

No grief journey is the same, yet each person grieving needs one powerful thing: Support.

Our Heart

Whether it's through group support, phone consultations with our clinicians, or grief-related resources, we are here to help you find the support you need after the death of a loved one.

Bo's Place is a safe place to express your thoughts and feelings with others on a similar journey.

Bo's Place operates on the belief that sharing your story, your thoughts, your memories and your feelings with others can be a powerful tool for healing.

We're Here

Grieving is both solitary and communal-we grieve alone and we grieve with others. While you may walk your own path, you do so in the company of many others who have experienced the death of a loved one, too.

We offer information and grief resources via phone, online and through in-person grief support groups for bereaved children, families and adults in both English & Spanish
