Have a team behind you
"…STAND is a community to support you through your mental health journey. Whether it’s through the tools and the lessons, or the one-on-one conversations with coaches, [or] the digital mental health program, it’s always nice to have a team supporting you."
— Deezire
Come as you are
"It's going to meet your needs where you’re at. Sometimes when we come into therapy or we want to seek treatment, we have these expectations of ourselves … that, 'I have to be this and this to be able to receive this treatment.' But truly, I really, really want people to just be able to show up as they are."
— Eman
Support, however you need it
"Its goal is to help you. It not there to make you feel bad in any way; it’s not there to make you feel attacked; it’s not there to make you feel like there’s something wrong with you … it is not there to drag you down or make you feel bad about yourself … or feel extra pushed in any way. I think that is something that I really would like people to know about the STAND program — that it is there for you in whatever aspect works best for you."
