Frequently asked questions

Use the search box at the top of this page to narrow down to your city or zip code, then choose the kind of support you need - therapists, treatment centers, housing assistance, food pantries or faith-based services. Every listing links through to contact details and directions.

It varies by listing. Food pantries, many housing programs and faith-based services are typically free, while therapists and treatment centers usually charge or bill insurance. Check the individual listing and contact the provider directly to confirm.

No. The providers and organizations listed here are independent of 7 Cups - we do not employ them and cannot vouch for them. What 7 Cups does offer directly is free emotional support from trained volunteer listeners, and online therapy with licensed professionals.

If you are in immediate danger, call 988 in the US or go to your nearest emergency room. For someone to talk to straight away, you can chat with a trained volunteer listener at any hour, free.
