“ReachOut was there from me when literally no one else was. It saved my life.” – Kiara, ReachOut Youth Ambassador

When Kiara was in crisis, she found getting help a challenge. Until she found ReachOut:

“After a year of struggling with severe depression, I made plans to end my life. In all the confusion I found ReachOut. ReachOut was there for me when literally no one else was. It saved my life. I was surrounded by support and knew ReachOut was always there the second I needed it in places and ways that physical services just weren’t. It made all the difference to me.”
