Mental Wellness
Neighbors 4 Neighbors is helping to break the stigma about mental health and wellness and share with you the resources available to help you and your family.
No matter who you are, we all need a little help sometimes, which is nothing to be ashamed of. No matter your culture, what society says, or what you were brought up to believe, taking care of your mind is just as important as eating right or exercising. We also know it’s not one-size-fits-all, so that’s why we have a ton of resources available to you. Most of them are free or at a low cost.
Below you will find links and phone numbers to resources right here in South Florida, as well as links to articles that can answer your questions.
Remember you are never alone.
Neighbors 4 Neighbors is partnering with organizations like The Humanity Project, who have experience dealing with children, teens, and adults undergoing stress and anxiety due to cyber and in-person bullying. We've also created PSAs with a licensed mental health counselor, Tammy Berman, to share core skills people can use now to reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, we have provided $5,000 to a team of mental health counselors headed to Ukraine to provide assistance to first responders in this time of war.
If you need someone to talk with right now, please call The National Suicide Lifeline at 988 or one of these Mental Health Hotlines, there are people who care available 24/7.
