Is this pathway for you?

Wanting Someone to Talk To Is Reason Enough

This pathway is for young adults who would like to talk to someone and want help finding free or affordable support they can actually reach.

You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support.

  • Carrying a Lot Alone

    For young adults holding stress, grief, or pressure on their own without much support.

  • Assuming You Cannot Afford It

    For those who want to talk to someone but have never looked because they expect it to cost too much.

  • Young Parents

    For young parents feeling overwhelmed who want support that understands their situation.

  • Looking for Peer Support

    For anyone who would rather talk with people in a similar situation than one-to-one.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you are in emotional crisis, you can call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and confidential, 24 hours a day. Otherwise, tell us what kind of support you are looking for, in your own words, and we will help you look.

Counseling Questions

Reaching out for support raises understandable questions. Here are honest answers about what we can and cannot do.

  • If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you are in emotional crisis, you can call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and confidential, 24 hours a day. These lines are staffed around the clock and are there for exactly this.

  • No. E&N Michelle Hope House is not a licensed counseling provider and does not diagnose, treat, or provide therapy. We help you locate counseling and emotional support offered by others.

  • No. Most people who ask about this pathway are not in crisis — they are tired, stretched, or would simply like someone to talk to. That is reason enough.

  • Some providers offer free or sliding-scale appointments, and crisis lines cost nothing. Others charge. Confirm cost directly with each provider before your first appointment.

  • Usually a conversation about what brought you in and what you are hoping for, rather than anything intensive. We can help you prepare for it if that would make the first call easier.

  • We use what you share only to respond and to help connect you with resources, and we do not sell it or pass it on without your permission except where the law requires it. Please do not send diagnosis details or medical records through our form.

  • Yes. Some programs are shaped specifically around parenting young, and we can help you look for those alongside general counseling options.

  • That happens, and it is not a failure on your part. You can come back to us and we will help you look for other options.
