Kaya's Story

"I told my parents that I’d like to get some help and they found the counselling services for me. I felt very nervous attending but once I sat down, I felt comfortable. I learned ways to cope with my anxiety and stress, and talking about my problems helps me. My anxiety would have gotten worse if I didn’t build up the courage to get help.

"Counselling has helped me so much. I have never felt better."
