"When you live with a mental health condition, your brain and body often send you a message that makes you feel like you are in a crisis situation. But sometimes you may find yourself in a dangerous situation. For our purposes here, a crisis might mean getting in trouble with the law or injuring yourself accidentally or on purpose. It's also a crisis situation if you find yourself developing a plan to take your own life or are considering hurting others."

We believe that strengthening the coping skills and confidence in youth and adults, as well as building the essential skill of resilience will help so no one feels alone on days when they don't feel ok. Knowing it is OK to not feel OK, and that those feelings are temporary are key.
