May is Mental Health Awareness Month and yes, it can kind of be awkward when you are feeling overwhelmed and don't know where or to whom to reach out to first, but there are people who can assist you in taking those first steps. Remember that you matter, you are important.

Here are the links to the Hudson Valley Mental Health Associations, by county.

Not ready to check out the above links? Reach out to a co-worker, teacher, friend, neighbor. You are worth it.
