A Mental Health Resource Roundup
Does your world feel a little bit wrong-side-up? There is absolutely no shame in seeking help, but it can be challenging to find the perfect outlet. I've rounded up some of my favorite, free, mental health resources, in case you need a little extra support right now. Find the Ultime Mental Health Resource Roundup for Help Now below.
These links are in no way, shape, or form meant to take place of talking to your doctor or seeing a therapist. It's time to end the stigma around mental health. Our bodies are complex, made by a divinely creative Creator. There is no shame in speaking to a therapist or taking medication. We take medicine for other organs in our body, our brain is just another complex, multifaceted part of our body. You are not alone.
