Creating safe, welcoming spaces is the heart of Moishe House programming. These resources are meant to support you in breaking down the stigma around mental health and providing information on where to go in case of emergency (regardless of where you’re located), as well as how to have productive conversations around wellbeing.
Where to Find Help
Don’t wait until there’s an emergency to know what your options are. Have emergency numbers written down and easily accessible so that you know where to go when you need them.
