Finding Support in Challenging Times

While my resources can guide and comfort you through many emotional landscapes, there are moments when only the hands of skilled professionals and supportive communities can provide the help you need.

Recognizing when to seek external assistance is not just wise—it’s essential for your wellbeing.
 

If you or someone you know is in immediate need of support, here is a list of confidential resources staffed by trained specialists. Remember, reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness but a courageous step toward reclaiming your strength.

 

*** These resources are for US residents. For residents outside the U.S., please explore similar resources in your own region. Support and understanding are universal needs, and accessing help is a fundamental right.

Remember, it's okay to not be okay. It's okay to ask for help. It's more than okay—it's a courageous step forward.
