Hope + Healing you can read about...

An Ally To Those In Need

But who is in need? And what can you do? The Council offers hope + healing to those in need. The hope comes in different forms and those in need are just as diverse. There is not one characteristic that makes someone look like they are having problems. In fact, some people have become impressively adept at hiding problems. Lots of times, substance use/abuse accompanies issues with depression, loneliness, mental health, money, family... you name it. That substance abuse only makes things worse and is often times a risk factor to self-harm. There have been some high profile suicides in the news lately, casting a light on the importance of mental health. Here are some ways you can be an ALLY to someone in need: Reach out. Appearances can be deceiving so don't assume everything is okay - ask if everything is ok. Talk about struggles you may have had with mental health and/or substance use so that those who are too afraid to ask for help may be encouraged to do so. Get rid of the negative stigma that mental health issues has! Visit SAMHSA funded suicidepreventionlifeline.org to learn more about risk factors and warning signs. Follow up with those who you reach out to and follow through on the help you offer. And remember, our outpatient treatment and recovery services don't require a referral and we have funding available for those without insurance or who cannot afford services. We never turn anyone away.
