Support Services
Counseling Sessions
If you’re not sure which program fits you, joining one of many Counseling Sessions would be a great place to start. This can either be done through email, social media or text. Whatever you decide, keep in mind that you have all our support and will never be judged. Contact us if you’d like more information.
Peer-to-Peer Groups
Our Peer-to-Peer Groups provide the kind of comprehensive support you seek as you navigate your challenges. Our Mental Health Support Group wants you to feel comfortable and at ease, so let us know what’s on your mind by getting in touch.
The Importance of Human Connection
Social connections can lower anxiety and depression, help us regulate our emotions, lead to higher self-esteem and empathy. By neglecting our need to connect, we put our health at risk. The reality is that we're living in a time of true disconnection.
Learning to Cope
The following is a main coping mechanism which has worked wonders for me.
Talking about your feelings can help you stay in good mental health and deal with times when you feel troubled.
Talking about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s part of taking charge of your wellbeing and doing what you can to stay healthy.
Talking can be a way to cope with a problem you’ve been carrying around in your head for a while. Just being listened to can help you feel supported and less alone. And it works both ways. If you open up, it might encourage others to do the same.
It’s not always easy to describe how you’re feeling. If you can’t think of one word, use lots. What does it feel like inside your head? What does it make you feel like doing?
You don't need to sit your loved ones down for a big conversation about your wellbeing. Many people feel more comfortable when these conversations develop naturally - maybe when you're doing something together.
If it feels awkward at first, give it time. Make talking about your feelings something that you do.
Understanding Your Emotions
It's harder to move past difficult feelings and allow them to fade if we don't face them and try to understand why we feel that way. You don't have to dwell on your emotions or constantly talk about how you feel. Emotional awareness simply means recognizing, respecting, and accepting your feelings as they happen.
