PHOENIX - Arizonar -- Given the state of mental health care in the U.S., where patients wait up to six weeks to see a mental health provider, MIND 24-7 fills a critical gap between long waits and going to the emergency department for mental health care.

"What we kept hearing was that people weren't getting the mental health care they needed because they couldn't find a provider who could see them in a timely manner, and they couldn't afford to spend hours in a hospital emergency department.

As an alternative to the hospital emergency department, MIND 24-7 is open all hours of the day and night for walk-in care. Patients see a mental health professional within 20 minutes of arrival, and most will be on their way again in about an hour and a half.

Who needs urgent mental health care?

Given the state of mental health care in the U.S., where patients wait up to six weeks to see a mental health provider, MIND 24-7 fills a critical gap between long waits and going to the emergency department for mental health care.

"What we kept hearing was that people weren't getting the mental health care they needed because they couldn't find a provider who could see them in a timely manner, and they couldn't afford to spend hours in a hospital emergency department either," says MIND 24-7 Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications Jessica Dixon. "Oftentimes, emergency departments don't have mental health providers on staff, which means patients end up having to wait even longer for psychiatric staff to be called in. Not to mention, it can be costly."
