In their words

What our clients say

“I started to see a change in the way I think and the way I feel about myself.”

When I first started Charlie Health, I was at an all-time low. I didn’t love myself, and I didn’t see the point in living after being treated like nothing by my ex-girlfriend. After giving Charlie Health’s groups a try, I started to see a change in the way I think and the way I feel about myself. If it wasn’t for taking that risk and participating, I don’t know where I would be now.

“I’m more comfortable talking with my parents now.”

I have really bad anxiety, so when my parents found this place, it sounded like a really good program that could help me. It definitely was. They have helped me a lot with my anxiety and I’m more comfortable talking with my parents now.

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health.”

Charlie Health helped me so much. Participating in groups with people my age, who have gone through the same stuff that I have, really made me feel connected and not alone. When everyone around you is fighting to make progress, you want to follow along too. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health. I’m going to miss this program, but I won’t come back to it. I’m not going to let everything I’ve done and worked towards here go to waste. I’m going to keep fighting until the battle is over, and I can raise my head in the mirror and tell myself that I’ve made it. Charlie Health, you change and save so many lives. Thank you so much for everything you did, and will continue to do.
