There is a relatively new statewide service for referrals and information on a broad range of social/emergency services. It’s called “Infoline 2-1-1.” It’s a collaboration of the United Way and the State of Connecticut. Just call their 24-hour number, 2-1-1, for information on everything from counseling to HIV/AIDS testing and emergency shelter to legal assistance.
The listing below is of local resources which serve Guilford specifically, and in some cases other shoreline communities and/or greater New Haven.
If you or someone you love is experiencing symptoms of mental illness such as persistent anxiety, sadness, depression or thoughts of suicide, it is extremely important to call a doctor and seek medical help.
