A new website has been launched to help Hoosiers with mental health.

The website, BeWellIndiana.org, was started by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration and will provide Indiana residents with free mental health resources that have been vetted by experts.

This comes after an increase in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and includes resources for both first-time issues as well as pre-existing mental health concerns.

The website offers information ranging from coping mechanisms, crisis counseling, how to self-monitor for signs of stress, domestic violence resources, substance use disorder and recovery, and tips for helping children, youth and teens. All resources were curated by the FSSA’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction.

There are also resources on homeschooling tips, ways to work from home, information on coping with a job loss and addressing medical questions and concerns.

“We acknowledge how the fear and anxiety about the coronavirus can be overwhelming and trigger strong emotions and reactions in adults and children,” said Jennifer Sullivan, M.D., M.P.H., FSSA secretary. Our hope is to help Hoosiers cope with that stress so that they can be better for themselves, their families and their community.”
