Depression and Anxiety

We Care

Everyone has bad days. But when the bad days happen more often than the good days, please reach out for help. You are not alone.

The video clips below show real people who have struggled, perhaps in the ways that you have. After each clip, we have provided links to services that listen first, and ultimately may help you feel better. You bring great value to our community, even though you may not see it. Please reach out. We want to help you.
