Mental health support basics

Mental health is not separate from physical health—it is health.

At The Iris Center, we approach care with this truth woven into everything we do.

If you are beginning to explore mental health support, know that you do not have to be in crisis to deserve care. Seeking help is not a weakness or a last resort. It is an act of strength and self-respect.

Sometimes, support looks like reaching out to a therapist. Sometimes it looks like connecting with a hotline, joining a support group, or simply finding small daily practices that help you cope. Every small step matters. Every small step is enough.

And if you are in a moment where everything feels too heavy to carry alone—you are not alone. We work with affirming counselors who are ready to listen without judgment.

You deserve support. You deserve care. You deserve peace.
