Mental Health
There are many places where you or a loved one can get help during difficult times. People often don’t get the mental health services they need because they don’t know where to start.
Are you experiencing any of the following?
- Feeling sad
- Have extreme high and low feelings
- Have trouble functioning at school, work or at home
- Have dramatic changes to your sleep and appetite
- Thinking about hurting yourself or others
If you are, please reach out and talk with the health care team here during your visit or at your clinic.
