Metrowest Navigation Line (https://www.bhpmw.info/referral-line/)

Toll-free number staffed by care coordinators who speak English, Portuguese and Spanish Tuesday through Friday 9am-5pm and Monday 9am-7pm. There is no charge for this service and the care coordinators will speak with you about mental health and social service concerns you may have for yourself, a loved one, or a person in your care and call counseling agencies for you to find an available therapist who takes your insurance. Your care coordinator will follow up with you until you have a therapist and even after you begin to make sure it is a good fit.
