You Are Not Alone

Everyone reacts to stress and traumatic experiences differently, and while some have reactions that can be seen as normal responses to life events, others may experience signs or symptoms of more serious conditions.

Those coping with more serious concerns may feel like there is no escape from their difficulties. Suicide is a serious public health concern, but is preventable.

If you or a loved one needs immediate help, there are resources available to you.
