May is mental health month and a statewide help line is expanding the services it offers. The Farm Family Resource Initiative was started in 2019 as a 24-Hour helpline for those needing mental health assistance and now SIU School of Medicine’s Karen Stallman says once you call 1-833-FARM-SOS looking for help, you can follow up with more personal care.

Up to six tele-heath sessions are offered free of charge.
