Find Help Minnesota: Statewide Behavioral Health Program Locator
Findhelp and the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) are partnering to roll out a statewide behavioral health program locator—Find Help Minnesota.
This innovative platform will enable organizations to seamlessly coordinate referrals and expand access to critical mental and behavioral health resources for Minnesotans.
Connecting Minnesotans in crisis to care
Find Help Minnesota will go beyond basic social needs like food and housing by prioritizing real-time inpatient bed capacity tracking for mental and behavioral health facilities.
Minnesotans in crisis will be able to search for and connect with life-saving services faster than ever before, including:
- Mental health resources
- Substance use treatment
- Supportive services
- Inpatient residential facilities
The platform provides a comprehensive, user-friendly network for individuals of all ages—including children, families, and culturally-diverse communities.
“This initiative is about removing barriers to care when people need it most. We’re grateful for this opportunity to support Minnesotans and providers by increasing access to behavioral health services. In partnership with local service providers, this platform will build on the life-changing work that’s already being done and ensure that individuals in crisis can quickly access the right services.”

A long history of supporting Minnesotans
Minnesotans trust Findhelp to connect them with the social care services they need. In the last few years, our platform has seen:
- 650,000 users
- 1.6 million searches for resources
- 7,000 listed programs serving Minnesota, including more than 500 that serve individuals with mental or behavioral health needs
Findhelp has been partnering with Minnesota-serving organizations since 2018. We work with customers across the state, including Mayo Clinic, Essentia Health, Children’s Minnesota, the Minnesota Association of Community Mental Health Programs, Gundersen Health system, and more.
Over the past few years, the number of searches made by Minnesota residents for mental and behavioral health-related resources has increased 86%, showing a growing need for these specific resources.
“At Essentia Health, we recognize the importance of making behavioral health resources more accessible and easier to navigate, especially for people in rural communities. A centralized locator tool has the potential to be a valuable asset for our entire state. Strong community engagement in its development and implementation will be key to its success, and we look forward to continued collaboration on this effort.”
