When James first walked through the door of Catholic Charities, he was experiencing depression so overwhelming he questioned whether life was worth living. Week by week, he began to unpack the pain he had suffered for so long. In a safe and supportive environment, we helped him work through past traumas that had been buried, but not forgotten, taught him how to recognize the triggers that sent him spiraling, and he discovered healthier ways to cope. Over time, he began to feel like himself again. Not the version he used to be, but a stronger, wiser, more compassionate version, shaped by struggle and healing.
