Most of us go through life solving our day-to-day problems without needing help to cope with our feelings. But extreme stress, a tragic event, trauma, a severe illness, an accident, severe depression or anxiety, hearing devastating news, the loss of something or someone significant or an emotional crisis can overwhelm us, at least temporarily, and suddenly we need help. In this section, you will find resources and tips on getting help when you need it most.
