Information and Referral 

Information and Referral staff respond to questions from callers seeking information about services or other behavioral health issues.  Staff members direct callers to the most appropriate service either within The Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania (MHASP) or another resource, provide a sympathetic response to their concerns and try to determine whether their questions or problems warrant follow-up. 

The telephone information line helps you with:  questions about mental health services and other information, where you can go for help, your concerns about a family member, sorting out difficulties you are experiencing and you don’t know where to turn, information about support groups, requests for specific literature on mental health or mental illness, questions about a relative who needs mental health help, joining the Mental Health Association of Southeastern PA or volunteer opportunities. 

Information and Referral services (I&R) at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania (MHASP) are available free of charge to residents of Southeastern Pennsylvania, which includes Philadelphia, Bucks, Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties.
