  3. Raleigh CARES Connects Residents With Crisis Support and Housing Resources

    Residents facing a mental health crisis, homelessness or the risk of losing housing often need help navigating several services at once. Raleigh CARES brings together phone-based crisis intervention, in-person outreach and longer-term support to connect residents with resources suited to their needs.

    CARES stands for Crisis Alternative Response for Empathy and Support. The City’s approach combines three programs: Crisis Call Diversion, ACORNS and Care Navigation. 

    Crisis Call Diversion: Support Over the Phone

    Launched in November 2025, the Raleigh-Wake Emergency Communications Center’s Crisis Call Diversion Line connects eligible mental and behavioral health-related 911 calls with licensed clinicians.

    After a telecommunicator screens a call, a clinician can provide support, help de-escalate the situation and connect the caller with additional care. First responders can still be dispatched when needed.

    According to the City’s September 10, 2026, feature, the line had completed more than 475 calls by the end of July, including 83 full diversions handled without dispatching police or EMS. Alliance Health’s main phone center also handled 1,005 calls for the emergency communications center. 


    ACORNS: In-Person Outreach and Resource Connections

    ACORNS — Addressing Crises through Outreach, Referrals, Networking, and Service — pairs social workers with police officers to assist residents facing mental health concerns, substance dependency, homelessness and related needs.

    The Raleigh Police Department unit connects people with community partners, treatment and other services. It also supports people transitioning back into the community after incarceration. 

    Participation is voluntary. The City reports that ACORNS has handled more than 2,500 referrals since its launch, emphasizing relationships and connections to appropriate support. 


    Care Navigation: Help Beyond the Initial Crisis

    The Care Navigation Team works with residents experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing housing after initial contact with a response team such as ACORNS.

    Staff identify individual needs and connect participants with housing resources and community services, providing continued support beyond the first response. 

    The City’s feature describes hands-on assistance with identification documents, health care and housing searches. It also shares examples of families and veterans who obtained housing with the team’s help. 


    How Raleigh Residents Can Connect With Help

    Residents seeking ACORNS assistance or making a referral can call 919-996-3345 or email [email protected].  For an emergency requiring immediate response, call 911. 

    Learn more through the City’s Raleigh CARES overview⁠ and ACORNS information page⁠.

  5. Robert-Ann Foundation Announces 2026 Minority Mental Health 5K in Raleigh

    July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to recognizing the mental health challenges affecting racial and ethnic minority communities while expanding access to education, support and culturally responsive resources.

    To help turn awareness into community action, the Robert-Ann Foundation will host its 4th Annual Minority Mental Health 5K Walk & Run on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Anderson Point Park in Raleigh.

    Minority Mental Health 5K Walk & Run Details

    Date: Saturday, July 25, 2026
    Time: 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
    Location: Anderson Point Park, Raleigh, North Carolina
    Host: Robert-Ann Foundation
    Theme: “Community”

    Walkers, runners, volunteers, families, local organizations and community partners are invited to participate.

    This year’s theme, “Community,” highlights the idea that meaningful change happens when people come together with compassion, purpose and action.

    Why Minority Mental Health Awareness Matters

    Minority and underserved communities can encounter significant barriers when seeking mental health care. Those barriers may include cost, limited access to providers, cultural stigma, discrimination, language differences and a shortage of professionals who understand a community’s lived experiences.

    Minority Mental Health Awareness Month encourages communities to:

    • Reduce stigma surrounding mental illness and treatment.
    • Promote open and respectful conversations about mental health.
    • Connect individuals and families with helpful resources.
    • Support culturally responsive mental health services.
    • Remind people experiencing mental health challenges that they are not alone.

    The Robert-Ann Foundation’s annual walk and run creates a welcoming space where Raleigh residents can raise awareness, find community resources and support people affected by mental health challenges.

    Ways to Participate in the Raleigh 5K

    There are several ways for individuals, families, businesses and organizations to support the 2026 Minority Mental Health 5K.

    Register as a Walker or Runner

    Community members can walk or run to show their support for mental health awareness. Participants are encouraged to invite family members, friends, coworkers, church groups and community organizations.

    Become a Community Partner

    Local organizations can participate as community partners and share their programs, services and resources with attendees.

    Community-partner participation is free, giving nonprofits and service providers an opportunity to reach residents who may benefit from their work.

    Volunteer at the Event

    Volunteers are needed to help the Robert-Ann Foundation create a safe, welcoming and successful experience.

    Volunteer roles may support event setup, participant check-in, course activities, resource areas and other event-day needs.

    Participate as a Vendor

    Organizations and vendors interested in participating should complete the appropriate online registration form.

    Vendor registration deadline: Monday, July 20, 2026

    Additional logistics and next steps will be provided following registration.

    Building a Healthier Raleigh Community

    Mental health awareness should extend beyond a single month or event. Lasting progress requires accessible services, informed communities and supportive environments where people feel safe asking for help.

    By walking, running, volunteering or sharing resources, participants can help reduce stigma and demonstrate that mental health is a community priority.

    The Robert-Ann Foundation looks forward to welcoming Raleigh residents to Anderson Point Park on July 25 as the community walks, runs and stands together for minority mental health.

    Together, Raleigh can raise awareness, inspire hope and remind those who are struggling that they are not alone.

  6. CW: RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network) Alternatives, Free Resources, uspol (US Politics) mentioned

    Hey, finding out about this a little later than I would have liked, but if you have any resources linking to the organization RAINN, I would recommend you remove them and find safer alternatives. I'll provide some alternatives in this post, so we can continue to try and keep each other safe, though please hear me out on this situation until then.

    In 2025 they removed any mentions of trans survivors and are no longer providing specialized life saving resources to the minorities who may happen to call. This resource is no longer safe for minorities to access, and I argue that it's not safe for anyone to access if they're silencing survivors, period.

    It's claimed that "RAINN’s mission is to stop sexual violence by supporting survivors, holding perpetrators accountable, and creating safer communities." However, by submitting to a notorious perpetrator, Donald John Trump, they're making a mockery of the work they set out to do. This is not only shameful, but dangerous.

    Cuts to funding is nothing new and I'm grateful that programs like *The Trevor Project are doing emergency fundraising to fight to keep their doors open instead of submitting to threats by facism. Standing by The People is more important than ever.
    Please consider donating if it's financially safe for you to do so: thetrevorproject.org/emergency

    Here's a couple of articles on the matter that I could find that aren't digustingly pay-walled. (Thanks for nothing NYT.) But yeah, please take from them what you will, do your own research as well, and make a more informed decision going forward.

    newrepublic.com/post/195327/to instinctmagazine.com/the-hotli

    Here's some resources that could be better alternatives to RAINN. You may need to list more than one in its place for it to be a more complete replacement, so please keep this in mind. Please read up on them, so you can be well informed on the resources you're sharing.

    Thank you for listening and please continue to keep each other safe. ✊🏼

  7. Faith Over Fear: Daily Steps to Trust God in Tough Times

    744 words, 4 minutes read time.

    The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1, NIV)

    Introduction

    When tough times come, it’s easy to get caught up in fear and uncertainty. But as Christians, we have a greater option available to us: trusting God in the midst of chaos.

    In Psalm 27, David expresses his trust in God as his light, salvation, and stronghold. He asks who he should fear with such confidence in our Lord. As believers, we can do the same.

    Insights into Fear

    Fear is a natural human response to uncertainty and danger. However, when we let fear take hold, it can lead us down a path of doubt and despair. In 1 John 4:18, we’re reminded that God does not give us evil things to suffer, but rather gives us strength and hope in the midst of trial.

    When we focus on our fears rather than our faith, we open ourselves up to feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. But when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we discover a different narrative – one of courage, resilience, and victory over fear.

    Practical Applications

    So how can we cultivate trust in God when the world around us seems dark and uncertain? Here are a few practical steps to consider:

    1. Practice Spiritual Discernment

    As believers, we have access to spiritual discernment through the Holy Spirit. When faced with fear or uncertainty, take time to pray and seek God’s guidance. Ask Him to reveal His truth in your situation, and trust that He is working everything out for your good (Romans 8:28).

    2. Focus on God’s Presence

    When we focus on our fears rather than our faith, we can lose sight of God’s presence in our lives. Take time to reflect on the promises of Scripture and remember that you are never alone. God is with you, even when it feels like He’s not (Deuteronomy 31:6).

    3. Surround Yourself with Believers

    When we surround ourselves with people who share our faith, we’re reminded that we’re not alone in this journey. Seek out community and connection with fellow believers – it can be a powerful antidote to fear and uncertainty.

    Reflection / Challenge

    • What are some specific fears or uncertainties you’re facing right now? Take time to pray for God’s strength and guidance in these areas.
    • Reflect on times when you’ve trusted God in the midst of tough times. What did you learn from those experiences, and how can you apply those lessons today?
    • Write down three things you trust God with today – no matter how small they may seem. Remember that our faith is not based on what we have or accomplish, but on who He is.

    Prayer / Closing

    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being my light and salvation in the darkest of times. Help me to trust You more deeply today, even when fear tries to creep in. Surround me with Your presence and remind me that I am never alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Call to Action

  10. If you're including 988 on your syllabus, I recommend rethinking this decision. At least include a warning about the risk of using 988 and having the police show up without the caller's consent. Alternatives that do not call the police include: Trans Lifeline, Black Line, and Samaritans.

  14. @WesElyMD And a reminder that the bird site deleted access to suicide prevention resources. People likely also need a reminder to check in on friends over the holidays - as 3y of this pandemic and the isolation it has induced are certainly not helping. #ReachOut #ShareSomeKindness #TheLifeYouSaveMightBeYourOwn #MentalHealthResources
