Mental Health and Why It Matters

Mental health affects every aspect of our lives, including our relationships, school or work performance, and social interactions. It can even impact our physical health. There are times when our ability to function in a healthy way is challenged, and we require outside assistance. This is where Wetzel-Rasmussen Counseling Services comes in, providing support and guidance as you navigate your mental health journey.
