Shanon talked about their new helpline called Persevere PA through PEMA. Shanon said the number (1-855-284-2494) is statewide and it is for individuals who are looking for COVID-19 related resources. She also noted that it is a mental health warm-line for individuals who may be struggling with the isolation or other feelings brought on by the pandemic. Shanon also noted that they are offering a support group for individuals who are 25 and older who have attempted suicide. She said the support group is offered through zoom and it focuses on recovery, safety planning, and helping individuals process the trauma of the event.
