Hi,
how are you?

Let’s be honest, we’re all facing some challenges. Life can be stressful, unpredictable, and confusing at times. Because things can weigh heavily on our minds, we wanted to check in and see how you’re doing. How you’re really doing. And then offer up some ways we can help.

OK-ness

spectrum

Introducing The OK-ness Spectrum. It’s an easy way to check in with yourself and see how you’re doing. This is meant to be a tool that will help connect you to helpful resources tailored to what you need right now.

We want to make it really clear—during challenging times like these, it’s ok to not be ok.

The key is to be honest with yourself, and get the support that can make a difference. There’s no need for putting on a brave face, or saying everything is fine. We all need to take care of ourselves, however that needs to happen.

We’re glad you’re here, and we hope this helps.
