What other guides miss (and how this one fills the gaps)

Most search results for “West Virginia mental health resources” list a few hotlines or national services but skip exact 2025 income thresholds for WV Medicaid/WVCHIP, co‑pays, managed‑care contacts, rides to appointments, and how to get same‑week care for kids. This guide includes those missing details (with official sources), plus real timelines, required documents, and Plan B steps when the first door doesn’t open.

---

How to get care this week (start here)

1. Call HELP4WV right now (24/7). Ask for the next open appointment for therapy or medication in your county. If you’re calling for a child/teen, say “Children’s Crisis & Referral Line” for mobile crisis or same‑week stabilization. They can schedule with the nearest Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center (CBHC), Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), or other provider. (help4wv.com)
2. If you’re in immediate danger or thinking about self‑harm, call 988 (or 911 if someone is at risk of physical harm right now). WV 988 is answered in‑state by First Choice Services. (wv988.org)
3. If transportation is the barrier and you have Medicaid, book a ride through Modivcare (call at least 5 business days before routine visits; hospital discharges and urgent trips are handled 24/7). (mymodivcare.com)

Reality check: Some clinics have waitlists. Ask for “same‑day access,” “walk‑in assessment,” or “bridge” telehealth until your regular slot starts. If it’s for your child, ask specifically about regional youth services, mobile crisis, and WV Wraparound. (dhhr.wv.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Call WV 211 to locate additional sliding‑fee clinics and faith‑based providers in your county. (bfa.wv.gov)
• If you’re insured through an MCO (Aetna Better Health, Highmark Health Options, The Health Plan, Wellpoint), call the number on your card and ask for “behavioral health expedited appointment.” See contacts below. (mountainhealthtrust.com)

Insurance and paying for care in West Virginia (2025 numbers you can use)

Mental health and substance use care are essential benefits under Medicaid, WVCHIP, and Marketplace plans. WV has also extended postpartum coverage to a full 12 months under Medicaid and WVCHIP, which is a big help for maternal mental health. Apply or report pregnancy on WV PATH. (dhhr.wv.gov)

2025 income limits (quick check)

Numbers below are calculated from the official 2025 HHS Federal Poverty Guidelines for the 48 contiguous states (effective March 2025). We show monthly income for common household sizes. Always remember the 5% income disregard may apply. (aspe.hhs.gov)

Table notes:

• Adult Expansion Medicaid uses 138% FPL.
• WV’s policy page lists Pregnant Women & Infants under age 1 at 158% FPL; WVCHIP covers up to 300% FPL (with cost‑sharing by tier). (dhhr.wv.gov, chip.wv.gov)

Sources: 2025 HHS Poverty Guidelines (ASPE) and WV Medicaid/WVCHIP eligibility pages and 2025 CHIP Income Guidelines. Calculations by ASingleMother.org from official FPL. (aspe.hhs.gov, dhhr.wv.gov, chip.wv.gov)

WVCHIP: 2025 copays at a glance

WVCHIP follows Medicaid benefits for kids and pregnant women but has copays by tier (Gold / Blue / Premium). Pregnant women 19+ have no copays. Below are 2025 amounts published by the state. (chip.wv.gov)

Native American/Alaska Native children enrolled in WVCHIP are exempt from copays. (chip.wv.gov)

Apply, enroll, and who to call

• Apply online: WV PATH – Health Care (Medicaid/WVCHIP). Or call the DoHS Customer Service Center 1‑877‑716‑1212. (dhhr.wv.gov)
• WVCHIP decisions often arrive in about “two weeks” after a complete application is received by your local office (watch your mail). (chip.wv.gov)
• WV Medicaid/WVCHIP managed care (Mountain Health Trust) plans and member lines:
  • Aetna Better Health: 1‑888‑348‑2922
  • Highmark Health Options: 1‑833‑957‑0020
  • The Health Plan: 1‑888‑613‑8385
  • Wellpoint West Virginia: 1‑800‑782‑0095
    Compare or switch: Mountain Health Trust. Note: WV moved to automatic MCO enrollment starting July 1, 2025; this doesn’t change who’s eligible, but it can change your default plan if you don’t pick one. (mountainhealthtrust.com, dhhr.wv.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• If you’re over income for Medicaid/CHIP, ask WV Navigator for free Marketplace help (often plans under $10/month after tax credits). Call 1‑844‑WV‑CARES (1‑844‑982‑2737) or 304‑356‑5834; appointments by phone statewide. WV Navigator – ACANavigator.com. (acanavigator.com)

Where to get therapy, psychiatry, and peer support near you

West Virginia’s public mental health system is anchored by 13 Comprehensive Behavioral Health Centers (CBHCs). Many are advancing to the CCBHC model (which must serve anyone regardless of ability to pay). As of Oct 1, 2024, six WV providers are certified CCBHCs (FMRS, Prestera, Seneca, Southern Highlands, Valley HealthCare, Westbrook). Start with HELP4WV to book the nearest option and check hours. (dhhr.wv.gov)

Examples of regional CBHCs (with main numbers):

• Prestera Center (Kanawha/Cabell/Putnam and more): 304‑525‑7851
• Valley HealthCare System (Monongalia/Marion, etc.): 304‑296‑1731
• FMRS Health Systems (Raleigh/Fayette/Summers/Monroe): 304‑256‑7100
• Southern Highlands CMHC (Mercer/McDowell/Wyoming): 304‑425‑9541
• EastRidge Health Systems (Eastern Panhandle): 304‑263‑8954
• Westbrook Health Services (Mid‑Ohio Valley): 304‑485‑1721
• HealthWays (Brooke/Hancock): 304‑723‑5440
• Appalachian Community Health Center (Barbour/Randolph/Tucker/Upshur): 304‑636‑3232

Directory source (WV Behavioral Healthcare Providers Association). For other regions (Potomac Highlands Guild, Northwood, United Summit Center, Seneca), use the association directory and ask HELP4WV for next‑day slots. (wvbehavioralhealth.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Use the West Virginia Primary Care Association “Find a Community Health Center” map to locate FQHC clinics with integrated behavioral health and sliding‑fee scales. Many offer therapy + primary care under one roof. (wvpca.org)

Postpartum and perinatal mental health (depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma)

Key facts in WV:

• WV Medicaid & WVCHIP cover mothers for 12 months postpartum (effective April/September 2022 updates). If you recently delivered, tell PATH you are postpartum to lock in that coverage. (dhhr.wv.gov)
• WV was chosen for CMS’s Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model starting Jan 1, 2025—aimed at better maternal outcomes, including mental health. (dhhr.wv.gov)
• Prior data show WV had one of the highest rates of postpartum depressive symptoms among PRAMS states (19.4% in 2018) and 12.4% at 9–10 months postpartum in a multistate study—underscoring the need to screen and treat. (cdc.gov)

Where to get help:

• Start with your OB, midwife, pediatric clinic, or FQHC—ask for a screening and a referral the same day.
• Statewide referrals: HELP4WV (1‑844‑HELP4WV) can locate perinatal‑informed therapists and programs. (help4wv.com)
• Drug Free Moms & Babies (DFMB) programs support pregnant and postpartum women with substance use or mental health needs, including recovery coaching up to two years postpartum. Sites are coordinated by the WV Perinatal Partnership. (wvperinatal.org)

Real‑world example: A mom in Kanawha County with postpartum anxiety used Medicaid coverage at a local FQHC for weekly therapy, then switched to a Prestera group for moms. Her OB’s office faxed a same‑week referral; Modivcare reimbursed gas to appointments. (You can ask your provider to fax to both a therapist and a CBHC to get the first opening).

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Call 988 if symptoms feel unsafe or you can’t reach a provider.
• Contact Postpartum Support International (nonprofit): 1‑800‑944‑4773 (not state‑run but reputable).
• If child safety is a concern due to partner violence, reach out to WVCADV programs or WV FRIS centers; both can connect you to safe shelter and trauma‑focused counseling. (ywcacharleston.org, fris.org)

Youth and family behavioral health (for your child or teen)

Important state programs:

• Children’s Crisis & Referral Line (via HELP4WV) can deploy Mobile Crisis Response & Stabilization; also connects to youth services like Positive Behavior Support, Regional Youth Service Centers, and WV Wraparound. Call/text 1‑844‑HELP4WV. (help4wv.com)
• WV Wraparound helps families keep kids at home and in school through team‑based planning; entry point is the Children’s Crisis & Referral Line; CSED Waiver may apply for serious emotional disorders. (dhhr.wv.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask your school about school‑based mental health or parentguidance.org access (WVDE tool mentioned by HELP4WV). (help4wv.com)
• Call your CBHC directly and request “open access” or walk‑in assessment hours (varies by center). (dhhr.wv.gov)

---

Transportation, telehealth, and practical barriers

• Non‑Emergency Medical Transportation (Medicaid): Modivcare 1‑844‑549‑8353. Routine scheduling Mon–Fri, 7 a.m.–6 p.m.; urgent and discharge trips 24/7. If you self‑drive, ask about gas reimbursement (limits apply). (mymodivcare.com)
• Telehealth: WV Medicaid and WVCHIP allow broad behavioral health telehealth; many clinics offer video or phone visits—ask your provider or MCO care manager. (WVCHIP follows Medicaid mental health benefits and policy.) (dhhr.wv.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask your provider for a “bridge” telehealth visit until you can secure child care or transportation.
• If you don’t have Medicaid, WVCHIP, or Marketplace coverage, ask an FQHC for sliding‑fee discounts and same‑day access. (wvpca.org)

---

Safety, domestic/sexual violence, and legal help

• If you’re not safe at home, call a local domestic violence program (e.g., YWCA Resolve in Kanawha area: 304‑340‑3549, toll‑free 800‑681‑8663), or the National DV Hotline 1‑800‑799‑SAFE. For sexual assault, contact your local WV FRIS center or RAINN 1‑800‑656‑HOPE. (ywcacharleston.org, fris.org)
• To report child/adult abuse or neglect in WV: 1‑800‑352‑6513 (24/7). (bfa.wv.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Call 988 for support planning and connection to resources; if danger is immediate, dial 911.

---

Local organizations and community supports (by type)

• Comprehensive Behavioral Health Centers: State’s list of 13 centers (names and regions). Use HELP4WV to schedule at the closest site. (dhhr.wv.gov)
• Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs): FMRS, Prestera, Seneca, Southern Highlands, Valley HealthCare, Westbrook (as of Oct 1, 2024). These clinics must serve anyone and improve access to medication management, therapy, crisis services, and care coordination. (dhhr.wv.gov)
• Community Health Centers (FQHCs): Use the statewide map to find integrated primary care + behavioral health with sliding‑fee discounts. (wvpca.org)
• WV 211: One call connects you to local counseling, support groups, food, rent, utilities, diapers, and more. (bfa.wv.gov)

---

Diverse Communities: tailored routes to care

This section highlights options that fit specific family situations. Use these in addition to the core contacts above.

• LGBTQ+ single mothers
  • Use 988 and ask for an affirming counselor; HELP4WV can also filter for LGBTQ+‑competent providers. For youth, schools may carry mental‑health support platforms (ask counselors). (help4wv.com)
• Single mothers with disabilities or caring for a child with disabilities
  • Ask your CBHC or FQHC about therapy with accessibility accommodations. If your young child has developmental concerns, contact WV Birth to Three for early intervention (regional contacts searchable on the state site). (wvdhhr.org)
• Veteran single mothers
  • Call 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line. Your local Vet Center or VA can provide counseling; your Medicaid/Marketplace plan should also cover mental health under parity protections. (wv988.org)
• Immigrant/refugee single moms
  • WV 211 can help you find counseling with language access; 988 also supports Spanish and interpreter services. (bfa.wv.gov)
• Tribal citizens
  • If your child is a member of a federally recognized tribe and enrolled in WVCHIP, copays are waived. For care access, pair WVCHIP/Medicaid with local CBHCs or FQHCs. (chip.wv.gov)
• Rural single moms with limited broadband/transportation
  • Ask for audio‑only telehealth if video is hard. Book Medicaid NEMT or request gas reimbursement. Use FQHCs for same‑day access and sliding fees. (dhhr.wv.gov, wvpca.org)
• Single fathers
  • All services listed here apply equally. HELP4WV and 988 serve all parents and caregivers. (help4wv.com)
• Language access
  • 988 supports Spanish; WV 211 offers text and chat; many MCOs and clinics provide interpreter services on request. (bfa.wv.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask an MCO care manager (behavioral health) to help you overcome barriers (child care, language, transportation). See plan phone numbers above. (mountainhealthtrust.com)

Your rights and new developments in WV (2024–2025)

• Mental health parity: WVCHIP and Medicaid benefits follow federal parity rules—copays, visit limits, and prior authorization rules for mental health must be comparable to medical/surgical. (chip.wv.gov)
• Behavioral health system upgrades: WV received a five‑year extension of its Medicaid Behavioral Health 1115 demonstration (effective Jan 1, 2025) and is rolling out CCBHCs to expand access. (dhhr.wv.gov)
• Maternal health: WV was selected for CMS’s Transforming Maternal Health Model (10‑year initiative beginning 2025). Expect more coordinated screening and supports for perinatal mental health. (dhhr.wv.gov)

---

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Waiting for a clinic to call you back. Use HELP4WV (1‑844‑435‑7498) to secure an appointment, and ask for the soonest opening at any nearby site.
• Not reporting pregnancy to WV PATH. Reporting triggers the 12‑month postpartum coverage—don’t miss it. (dhhr.wv.gov)
• Skipping transportation help. If you have Medicaid, book Modivcare rides or gas reimbursement at 1‑844‑549‑8353 (routine rides need advance notice). (mymodivcare.com)
• Forgetting to ask for “open access,” “walk‑in,” or a telehealth bridge. Many clinics keep same‑day assessment slots—ask.
• Not using your plan’s care manager. Call your MCO to request help coordinating therapists, psychiatry, and follow‑ups. (mountainhealthtrust.com)

---

Application Checklist (Medicaid/WVCHIP)

Bring or have ready when you apply on WV PATH:

• Photo ID and Social Security numbers (or document numbers) for household members applying. (hi.aetnabetterhealth.com)
• Proof of income (recent pay stubs, self‑employment statements, or last tax return). If you’re pregnant, a doctor’s note can help with counting the unborn child in household size. (chip.wv.gov)
• Current health insurance info (if any). (hi.aetnabetterhealth.com)
• A reliable phone and mailing address to receive notices (CHIP decisions often arrive in about two weeks). (chip.wv.gov)

---

Timelines you can expect

• Modivcare rides: Schedule routine trips at least 5 business days ahead; urgent and discharge trips 24/7. (mymodivcare.com)
