In many stories and folklore, wells are gathering places for people to receive water — a resource that no one should be deprived of — and a social location to learn and connect with people in your community.
The Well Family Spot is an online gathering place for you to come and gather information about emotional health and wellness — another thing that EVERYONE deserves.
So why come here? Here’s a few reasons:
The rise in reports of mental illness, and the fact that access to mental health treatment is still a major barrier to care, tell us that people need more access to accurate and current information about these issues and how to handle it. It doesn’t just affect a person, it can affect whole families and communities.
Stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, postpartum depression/anxiety, and many other issues impact millions of families every day. The first step to taking charge of you and your family’s wellness is understanding what these issues are and how they are affecting you. This is the spot where you can find tools and ideas to get well.
The Well Family Spot is run by a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience in the mental health space, treating many youth, families, and adults that struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and deep emotional wounds.
The Well Family Spot is meant to give you concrete tips and things you can use right away. It is NOT therapy, obviously, but this site aims to arm you with impactful information to equip your family to handle life’s stressors and decide about your next move.
