In addition to the resources SAMHC has available, Community Partnership of Southern Arizona (CPSA), which oversees publicly funded mental health and substance use treatment services in Pima County, has set up the Tucson Tragedy Support Line, a no-cost resource for people struggling with their own reaction to the shootings, those concerned about a friend or family member, or those who would like information on typical reactions to such an event. Callers do not need to give their names or any identifying information to use this service.
The new Tucson Tragedy Support Line number is ( 520) 284-3517, available 24 hours/day, 7 days a week. The number will remain operational until further notice.In addition, CPSA has created a page on their web site, Resources for Dealing with Tragedy, containing links to local mental health providers and many other resources that may be of help in a time of grief and stress.
A Message from the CEO
We at Southern Arizona Mental Health Corporation (SAMHC), a community-wide crisis center, wish to do everything we can in support of the people of Tucson and Arizona.
We are aware of how tragic events can lead to strong, unanticipated feelings, and know how helpful it can be to talk to someone knowledgeable about dealing with trauma. Together, we are a community, and want to help by offering the services and support of our skilled behavioral health professionals.
SAMHC wishes to offer individuals, students, members of families, law enforcement, education, healthcare, and all others, whatever services we can to help them through these difficult times. We are connected in so many ways with Tucson Police Department; Pima Community College; the University of Arizona; area schools; Pima County Sheriff’s Office; local hospitals; and so many other settings that have been affected so strongly by this tragedy. Those relationships are dear to us in professional and personal ways.
Please feel free to contact us if we can be of help, and know that we, like the rest of Tucson, are one in helping each other through these times.
Joint Commission's
Gold Seal of Approval.
