This page contains a number of important mental health resources at your disposal. MHEd would like to stress the importance of contacting help or Mental Health resources. As much information as our website can provide, we may not be able to help with your specific situation. Asking for help is the most important step of the process, and the first step towards helping de-stigmatize our society towards mental health. We would like to stress that there is no shame in asking for help and that it is an action that requires immense courage.
