Free yourself from the cocoon of mental illness and become the beautiful butterfly that's inside of you.
This page is about raising awareness and helping people of all ages get through depression, suicide, self-injury, eating disorders, and all types of mental illnesses.
We would really like to target adults and parents to help them see the signs of mental illness and when to get help.
Remember your never alone and realize everyone's hurting.
DO you have a teenager who has given up or lost touch with you and/or the world?
Free The Butterflies is here to help people find positive ways to cope with depression, eating disorders, self injury, abuse, rape, and bullying. We are NOT therapists but we can give you info and excellent advice on where to get help. We are not here to treat or diagnose any diseases or disorders but we are here to help those struggling with them that maybe are too scared or don't know how to reach out for help.
There are lists of counselors, therapists, hot-lines, doctors, etc. to accomidate your teenagers mental or physical needs. We encourage parents/guardians to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression and other serious mental illnesses which without the right medical attention could be deadly and life threatening.
Acknowledge that your friend has a problem, and that the symptoms are serious
Care- let your friends know you're there for them and you want to help
