Bands at the Bridge in Twin Falls Bringing Mental Health Awareness and Hope

In recent years it has become more acceptable to talk about your mental health. People seem more open to sharing their feelings and struggles. And, equally as important is that people are open to listening and supporting those who are having issues. Schools in Idaho are now offering free counseling to students and family members.

People are able to gather and bond over their mental health struggles. Others are fortified knowing that they aren't the only ones who have bad days.
