“I am still alive because of Charlie Health.”
I didn’t realize how bad I was struggling with my mental health until I joined the Charlie Health program and realized how similar yet distinct my story was to others. Mental Health feels like something that drags you down a lot of the time but with the people from Charlie Health and the support from group therapy, I learned how to better communicate and realized how much I was holding inside and that is how I knew I had found the right place. I can honestly say that although I am not completely done with my mental health journey, I am still alive because of Charlie Health and feel like life is a lot more worth living.

“I know now that I can love myself.”
Before I was in Charlie Health, I struggled with really bad anxiety and on-and-off depression. But throughout treatment, sharing with other people my age in group made me realize a lot. I know now that I can love myself even if others don’t and that I don’t have to be scared of everything. I really appreciate everyone who has helped me here at Charlie Health.
