Frequently Asked Questions

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood through adulthood.

Some signs include: persistent sadness or worry, withdrawal from friends and activities, extreme mood changes, changes in eating or sleeping habits, difficulty concentrating, and feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks. If these feelings persist for more than two weeks, consider reaching out to a professional.

Conversations with licensed therapists and counselors are generally protected by confidentiality laws. Crisis hotlines also prioritize privacy. However, specific policies may vary, so it's always okay to ask about confidentiality when reaching out to any service.

Listen without judgment. Let them know you care. Don't try to "fix" things — just being present matters. Encourage them to talk to a trusted adult or professional. If you're worried about their safety, tell a trusted adult or contact a crisis line together.

Many resources are completely free, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), school counselors, community health centers, and online tools like NAMI and MentalHealth.gov. Check our Quick Links for direct access.
