You are not alone even if depression tries to convince you otherwise. There is ALWAYS a solution, suicide is NEVER the answer!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 1 in 5. The number of people who will be affected by mental illness in any given year. This person is sitting next to yo...u. This person is living in your house. This person is a part of your family. This is you. Even if this disease is not yours to fight, you are impacted by knowing and loving someone who is. A semicolon. A pause. An indication of connection between sentences. Often causing confusion yet important to empathize relationships. A pause to let the reader know there is more to the story. The semicolon can be described as stronger than a comma but weaker than a period. An apt description. However the semicolon is more than just this. It continues the sentence where a period could be placed. And I am stronger than depression and anxiety. I am more than what it tells me I am. It will not be my ending period. My disease makes me pause in my day. It makes me stop and care for myself. But it doesn't end me. I have more to my story. And so do you. Share it. Talk about it. Reveal it. Display it. There is no shame. Don't let it become your end. Let it be a part of your story. One that you overcome everyday. Support your 1 in 5. Show them that you see them. You hear them. You love them. Show them that their disease does not make them less of a person. My name is Katie. I am 1 in 5.

Today I humbly acknowledge the privilege it has been to serve the people of the Lake Region from my office at the Hawley Silk Mill for 10 years! Thank you

Many people that come for counseling suffer from chronic pain/illness. They suffer silently and feel a debilitating sense of being isolated in their pain/illness. It is helpful for those that don’t experience this to understand and offer compassion.

Eyes and ears wide open! This is not an isolated situation for one 12 year old boy. If you notice a family member or friend is struggling, consider that what you know is only a small percentage of what could truly be going on. If you are someone who has thoughts of suicide, reach out and get help. SUICIDE IS NEVER THE ANSWER, THERE IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION! Wayne Co. Crisis (570) 253-0321 Pike Co.

A Virtual Open Mic for Suicide Awareness and Prevention Listen in....

These days all seem to run together and when that happens we can lose our footing. The floating feeling creates anxiety. Here is a useful grounding technique to bring you back to Earth and remind you that today is Thursday April 9, 2020, you are still here, and you will be ok
