Hall County is United Around Mental Health

1 in 5 struggle with mental health.
100% of us can help.

Our mental health is like our physical health. It can affect all that we do, from productivity or absences at work, to performance in school, to relationships with others in our community. Reach Out is an initiative of the United Way of Hall County One Hall Health committee working to normalize seeking help for mental health support and to educate the community that mental health is as important as physical health.

We envision a future for those in Hall County where mental health needs are recognized and treated and where knowledge of and access to mental health services are increased. Together, we can encourage others to reach out and check in so no one in Hall County feels alone.

Happy Mother’s Day from Reach Out Hall County 💐  Motherhood comes with a lot of responsibility, and it can be hard to find time to focus on your own mental health.  But support can fit into your life in different ways. Whether it’s talking to someone you trust or exploring options like virtual care, taking care of your mental health is an important part of your overall well being. 
Take a moment to check in with yourself today, even in a small way. 💛

You do not have to handle everything on your own 💛⠀
⠀
If you need support, you can call or text 988 to connect with a trained counselor at any time. It is free, confidential, and there is always someone ready to listen and offer judgement-free care.⠀
⠀
Even if you are not sure what to say, reaching out is a strong first step. You do not need the perfect words to ask for help.⠀
