Can’t think straight?

Talking or writing can provide clarity.

It helps to share.

If you’re feeling down or stressed, try putting words to your emotions. Journaling or talking through what you’re feeling can help deactivate your body’s stress response.

Sharing your feelings with a trusted family member or friend can help you identify and neutralize some of your stresses. If you prefer more privacy or professional support, counselors are also great listeners.

Support options in Yolo County include the free CalHOPE phone line, Yolo County Mental Health Services, and private providers.

Whatever you choose, taking steps to work through what you’re feeling is sure to help!
