Peggy says, “I have a history of mental health issues. I moved from a different state to VA. Big changes are a trigger for mood changes. I became seriously depressed. I heard from a friend about Southside Behavioral Health. I called for an appointment and was seen that day. I have a psychiatrist, therapist, and went to Peer groups regularly. Peer group we did self esteem workbooks that completely changed the way I thought about myself. Before I felt like I was nothing, today I have confidence, I am able to express feelings, have boundaries and learned numerous coping skills I use daily. I would want others to know that things can get better if you let Southside help you. Today I am proud, I feel more confident, have better self esteem and have learned coping skills in Peer groups and with the therapists I have seen. Thank you for offering the services that have kept me alive.”
