UnitedHealth Group is offering free mental health services to anyone in the country who was emotionally affected by the shooting at Pulse in Orlando \u2013 even if you don\u2019t have health insurance.<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Optum will operate a 24\/7 helpline, and users can speak to a trained mental health professional for as long as they need. Individuals can call toll-free at 866-342-6892. The company is also providing access to their benefits site<\/a>, which contains mental health information like professional tips on how to manage anxiety.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe helpline can be an easy, accessible way for people to reach out,\u201d William Bonfield, chief medical officer of OptumHealth Behavioral Solutions, told The Huffington Post. \u201cIt can provide support, an opportunity to talk and help a person decide if mental health treatment may be helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Please please please take advantage of this if you need it! <\/b>Mental healthcare is so important but can be so freaking expensive, and processing Pulse might take a lot out of you. That\u2019s okay \u2013 help is out there. And if you\u2019re looking for someone LGBTQ-specific to talk to, the Trevor Project<\/a> and Trans Lifeline<\/a> are available for you too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
