They Never Talk About This Side of Mental Health...

When people talk about mental health, they often picture therapy sessions, medications, or mindfulness apps. But they rarely talk about the silence—the kind that settles in when someone is overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure where to turn.

It’s the silence of a parent hiding their anxiety to stay strong for their kids.


The silence of a teen who’s struggling but doesn’t know how to ask for help.


The silence of someone who’s working three jobs and still can’t afford to breathe, let alone heal.

This is the side of mental health we see every day—the invisible struggles that don’t make headlines but shape real lives.

At Family Service, we help break that silence. We provide a safe space, professional counseling, and practical support for those who feel unseen. Because mental health isn’t just about treatment—it’s about being heard, being safe, and knowing you’re not alone.

This May, for Mental Health Awareness Month, stand with us. Let’s break the silence together.

Follow @FamilyServiceCC on all socials for updates, resources, and behind-the-scenes looks at our work. We share short staff interviews on topics like child abuse prevention, mental health, and community-based efforts—highlighting expert tips and real stories from the field. It’s a great way to learn more about the issues we address every day. 

We recently sent out our Spring Mailing, sharing updates on the impact your support makes possible—from counseling services to community programs.
