Testimonials

Thanks for listening to my concerns and giving us valuable resources. My son had a positive meeting with a therapist today. It was the first time he felt comfortable being open and honest with a care giver. I FaceTimed with him earlier and he had gotten a hair cut and finally ate. I could see a little color back in his face. One day at a time! I just want to thank you.

My happy light is working miracles. After using it for a few days, I caught a glimpse of happiness. And it was a wonderful feeling. With daily use, happiness is a regular emotion now. It’s been a long time and I have you to thank for it. Thank you.

Your non-profit organization is awesome. As a former army veteran, I myself have battled with depression and anxiety. Along with battling with some PTSD things as well. And yes, there are some extremely bad days but there are also some great days. I’ve lost a lot of very close friends that I consider brothers to me due to suicide. So thank you for making men’s mental health awareness more known!

Seeing your post about the light therapy box was very eye opening because I know my teenage son has depression and this is a great therapeutic avenue for him to do at home. I have ordered all my kids one for Christmas. When they opened them and we explained to them what they were and what they are for, each of my children were thankful. It was a way to open the door from a different direction to discuss emotions and an uncomfortable feeling. THANK YOU!

Everyday I turn on the news and get the news that another man has taken his life by suicide. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for all that I know you will continue to do to bring awareness to this.
