Vermont referrals
Working in hospitality can bring real pressure, and reaching out is one practical next step. This directory gathers Vermont referrals for crisis support, local care, peer connection, food benefits, workplace resources, and hospitality education.
Serving Up Support is based in Maine. These independently curated referrals are information only, not care delivered by us. Listing a provider does not imply partnership or endorsement, and we do not operate services in Vermont.

Start with statewide navigation or find the regional community agency for ongoing mental-health or substance-use care.
Routine navigation
Looking for a next step with food, housing, transportation, or another local service? Vermont 211 offers a searchable community-resource directory and general information and referral by phone. Call 2-1-1 or search online.
211 is not emergency response, clinical care, or a guarantee of eligibility, placement, or a particular service. Housing programs have separate eligibility and contact rules; confirm details directly with the relevant state program or provider.
Ongoing treatment access
Vermont’s 10 regional Designated Agencies provide care for people affected by mental-health conditions, substance-use disorders, and developmental disabilities. Services may include outpatient or residential mental-health care, case management, and substance-use treatment.
Each agency serves a specific region. Use the state directory and agency map to find the contact for your area, then ask about services, intake, cost, insurance, eligibility, hours, and current availability. These are local care routes, not a substitute for 911 or 988 in a crisis.

These peer resources offer connection and community; they are distinct from emergency response and clinical treatment.
Non-emergency peer support
Vermonters age 18 and older can call or text Pathways Vermont’s Support Line for connection with local people who draw on lived experience. Pathways lists the line as available 24/7 and describes it as a warm line—not a crisis hotline or emergency service.
Local peer recovery support
Peer recovery centers across Vermont offer community connection for people affected by substance use, including family and friends. Each organization is local; location, hours, eligibility, and offerings vary. Check an individual center’s current details before visiting. These are peer/community resources, not treatment or crisis response.

Benefit rules are specific to each household. Vermont DCF makes eligibility decisions and provides current application guidance.
Food-benefit information
If food costs are weighing on your household, check whether you may qualify for 3SquaresVT, Vermont’s SNAP program. Vermont’s Department for Children and Families explains current eligibility and how to apply online or by paper. A listing cannot determine or promise eligibility.
Vermont directory
These Vermont-specific listings are for employers exploring workplace practices and workers considering career education—not individual mental-health care.
Employer-facing program
Vermont hospitality employers can explore VAMHAR’s Recovery Friendly Workplace program for guidance on building a workplace culture that supports recovery. The program is employer-facing; workers seeking personal support can use the care and peer resources above.
VAMHAR currently states that its certification process, resources, and assistance have no cost to employers. Confirm current terms and the process directly with VAMHAR; certification timing varies and is not guaranteed.
Career education
UVM currently lists an online, asynchronous 16-week certificate beginning February 8, 2027, with tuition of $2,900 and an estimated 7–10 hours of study per week. The page describes an optional paid internship in Vermont; placement is not guaranteed. UVM says applicants must reside in the U.S. and be able to complete the internship in Vermont.
This is paid career education, not a mental-health service or benefit. Course dates, cost, eligibility, and internship availability can change; confirm the current details with UVM before enrolling.
