Redefining Mental Health Support for Young Women

“When people see numbers/statistics on mental health it’s easy for them to digest.”

Depression is a very real situation, and we all need a safe space where we can go, speak honestly about what we may be going through, and get the healing and coping tools we deserve. Young people, including young women, are finding themselves in need of support, direction, and guidance. Having access to these tools can be the difference between living and just existing … and there is a difference. “If you look at the wellness space as a whole, how many wellness spaces or communities can you name for men?” (Elyse), 4:28
