A Little Preparation Can Help

Before You Reach Out

Ask About Access: Confirm current hours, eligibility, costs, insurance, waitlists, transportation, physical access, interpreters, and virtual options.
Care Should Fit You: Ask about experience with your needs, names and pronouns, privacy, and what information may appear on insurance statements or a shared patient portal.
Free Guide, Different Services: This guide is free. Listed organizations may offer free, reduced-cost, or paid services; funding and availability can change.
Your Privacy Matters: External sites and support services have their own privacy practices. If you use a shared or monitored device, consider a safer device; private browsing does not hide activity from every form of monitoring.
Information & Referrals: Wild Indigo does not provide clinical, crisis, or legal services. Contact qualified professionals for personal medical or legal advice. Program availability and rules can change, so check directly with the organization.
