Coping with a mental health issue can feel isolating. Some moments may make us feel like we are alone and perhaps the only one experiencing a difficult time. MHAGC’s Story Series is a way to show that no one is ever truly alone. Stories are the threads with which hope is woven. These stories offer a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives that we hope strengthen your sense of community, support, and belief in a brighter future.
