A Note from CHC About This Week’s News…
Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness that we acknowledge two tragic stories in the news this week. The loss of two admired public figures to suicide underscores the reality that the silent issues of anxiety and depression remain very present in our lives. These events can be confusing and upsetting and we urge you to reach out by speaking to family, friends and to CHC, and when appropriate, to start developmentally-healthy conversations with your children and teens about mental health and suicide.
Help is always available. If you or someone you know experience suicidal thoughts, please come to us. We are unafraid of working with individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. Our doors are open and we will embrace you and offer support.
Hope is here. 650.688.3625 or 650.688.3650 (Español)
