It's OK To Not Be OK: When And How To Get Help in Wilton

WILTON, CT — Wilton Social Services, Wilton Youth Services, and the Wilton Police Department together with Kids in Crisis and Positive Directions will be hosting a discussion on mental health on Wednesday, August 18th at 12:00-12:30 p.m. via Zoom.

According to discussion organizers, COVID-19 has taken a toll on everyone with depression, anxiety and substance use increasing over the past year. The discussion will focus on how to recognize the signs that help is needed, demystify the process of seeking help and share local resources.

Sarah Heath, director of Wilton Social Services said: "The Town of Wilton’s Social Services Department is happy to help any resident in need, and this includes mental health. It can be confusing to navigate and we have professionals ready and willing to help you. We hope anyone interested in learning how to access help will attend, whether you are interested in helping
yourself or a loved one."
