When you need more than words

Some griefs are heavier than a group can hold.

If getting through the day feels impossible, please reach out. Asking for help is not weakness — it is one of the bravest, most loving things you can do for yourself.

A gentle check-in

It may be time to lean on a professional if, weeks or months on, you notice:

You feel unable to manage everyday tasks, weeks or months on.
You’re leaning on alcohol or other substances to get through.
You feel cut off from everyone, or unable to feel much of anything at all.
You feel hopeless, or find yourself wishing you weren’t here.

If you ever have thoughts of harming yourself, please call or text 988 now. You matter, and someone is ready to listen.

If today is hard

You can call us, even years later.

There is no expiration on our care. If you need someone to talk to, our aftercare line is always open.
