Help is Near

Do you ever feel isolated, overwhelmed or unmotivated  to continue living your daily life? Three-out-of-ten Vermont teens report feeling deep sadness or hopeless nearly every day for at least two weeks.  Those same teens reported stopping some of their usual activities in the past year. Thoughts of self-harm are also common. Nearly 1 in 5 VT teens reported seriously considering suicide in the past year. If you are a female, person of color, or an LGBTQ+ youth, you are more prone to depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Please never be afraid to reach out for help when you need it, you are not alone. (Retrieved from 2019 VT Youth Risk Behavior Survey)
