The NM Connect app, created to help people with mental health issues in New Mexico, will shut down next Tuesday, according to the Health Care Authority. Officials said the app had low usage, and its funding will be redirected to other behavioral health projects.
Alternative Support Available
People seeking help can still contact 988 by phone, text, or chat in English or Spanish. The service connects individuals with licensed counselors to discuss issues such as stress at work, conflicts with loved ones, bullying, or other concerns.
Most calls are handled over the phone, and resources are available to those in need. The 988 hotline operates 24/7 for anyone in need of support.
