How HelpGuide.org changes lives
“I don't know how to explain the change this site has made in my life literally overnight. I forgot what makes me happy. I forgot who I once was. Your site has guided me to hope and a plan.”
From New York
“I was scared to talk to anyone because they would judge me, but every question I wanted to ask was answered on your website. My mind’s clear now and I’ve realized it’s not just my health I’m jeopardizing, but also the people I love. I’m a better man thanks to you.”
From the U.K.
“This website is an incredible source of knowledge and comfort for me. I'm going through one of the hardest times of my life mentally, and you have made me feel less alone.”
From Canada
“Just wanted to express my appreciation for developing this great resource. It has been very beneficial to me as I battle alcoholism and depression and gave me a lot of good coping techniques to win my battles and control my urges.”
From New Jersey
“I have been having moderate depressive and anxiety episodes and have used the many wonderful, insightful, and well-researched guides on this site to get through this tough time. . . Truly, I think HelpGuide has saved my life and I cannot thank you all enough.”
