How to Find a Mental Health Support Worker

Having a mental health support system can help to reduce feelings of isolation and provide an outlet for one’s emotions. It allows individuals to cope with difficult times, to understand their experience, and to gain skills to manage their condition. 

Mental health support can come from friends, family members, psychologists, psychiatrists, and support groups or online communities. Seeking out mental health support is a sign of strength and resilience.
