Brightside Celebrates Mental Health Awareness Month

Each May, we’re reminded of something essential. Mental health is part of being human. Whether you are dealing with stress, trauma, anxiety, depression or old wounds that still hurt, your emotional well being deserves care and attention. Just like your physical health, it matters every day. 

At Brightside, we work with people who come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Some feel overwhelmed and are trying therapy for the first time. Others have been managing quietly for years and are finally ready to speak their truth. No matter the reason, choosing to care for your mental health is something to be proud of. 

This month invites all of us to take a breath and check in with ourselves. It reminds us that asking for support is not a weakness. It is a sign of strength. Therapy can be a space where you feel safe, heard, and understoo. You do not have to be in crisis to reach out. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to who will really listen. If you have been thinking about starting therapy, now may be a good time to begin. 

Brightside Behavioral Health offers compassionate support for individuals, couples, and families. We see clients in Johnston, Cranston, Warwick, and also offer telehealth across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Whether you are seeking help with life stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, or something you cannot quite name, our team is here to support you. You deserve care that honors your experience and meets you where you are.
