Healing and Recovery

"I met my counselor several months ago, and she managed to make me feel comfortable within a couple of days. She was incredibly friendly, supportive, and encouraged me to be patient with myself. I learned how to better open up to friends and family about my struggles, so without her help I wouldn't have been able to reach out to my loved ones around me. I can't express my appreciation enough."

"It has been almost a year since my home was destroyed from a tornado. Although I struggled to live my life without thinking about it every day, my counselor offered me a safe space where I could express all my grief and pain. The Comfort Compass also provided me the Disaster Distress helpline which especially helped me in the beginning. I'm thankful I had this resource for both me and my family."

"I've always had emotional issues growing up which turned into mental health issues like depression and anxiety. My family refused to listen to my struggles, so when my friend encouraged me to schedule an appointment through The Comfort Compass, I finally found the help I needed. I am now in college and studying to become a therapist because of the immense support of my counselor."

"My son was being bullied by his peers in school, and it led him to not being able to leave the house for several months. He found The Trevor Project helpline through The Comfort Compass and that was when he finally felt comfortable to open up to me more. Thanks to counseling as well, my son has learned how to strengthen his mental health!"
