SwiftMD can help when you’re feeling down. Discuss everything from depression, anxiety and stress, to struggles with family, work, and substance abuse. Access free, confidential counseling by phone or videoconference. Call 24/7 for an initial assessment and get three counseling sessions at no cost to you. Counselors have a master’s degree and at least ten years of experience.
