A lot of people are talking about the importance of taking care of our mental health right now.
It’s especially important to reach out during the times that we are currently living through.
I want to provide you with a bit of information and contact details for a few local organizations who are there to help if you feel like you need it.
I am not ashamed to say that I struggle with mental health issues myself. I take medication daily and I talk with a mental health professional regularly.
You’re not alone.
