Quick Start: What to Do If You’re Struggling

  • Take a free mental health screening: mhascreening.org

  • Reach out to a friend, mentor, or trusted adult. Connection matters.

  • Schedule a low-stakes consultation with a therapist, even if you’re unsure about committing.

  • Journal one thought, feeling, or fear per day. Make space for your inner voice.

  • Let yourself rest. Sometimes survival is sacred.
