Kickstarting your mental health journey, sans stigma

Accessing care is easy & free

Getting the care best fit for your needs

“This is a program that allows you to tackle and to begin your mental health journey, without shame, without the stigma, without having to announce it to others."

— Bryan, STAND at ELAC participant

"It's free, it's accessible, and it's just as good as other services that you would get at a medical facility." 

— Sofia, STAND at ELAC participant

"One thing I'd like others to know about STAND is that it's there for a reason. It's very supportive. They [STAND team members] are not going to judge you for anything you're dealing with. They're not going to tell you, 'Oh, we can't help you with that.' They'll match you with the right type of people to help you." 

— Desirae, STAND at ELAC participant

Tackling your day-to-day stressors

"STAND […] is a great program that helps you [with you] day-to-day. If you're on the fence about it, give it a try — it might lead you to what would help you."

– Fernando, STAND at ELAC participant
