How to get counselling
Never feel like you have to deal with Mental Health issues on your own!
While it's necessary to stay at home these days, it's NOT EASY!!
Having a mix of emotions is common in these times.
Feeling happiness, sadness, lonliness, despair, anger, joy is part of this experience for most of us. If you want and need counselling remember:
- YOU'RE NOT ALONE
