Mental illness—including depression and bipolar disorders—is the leading cause of suicide. People of any age can suffer from mental illness, and many may feel that there is no other way out. But there is hope. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals grappling with suicidal thoughts by recognizing maladaptive thought patterns, reframing problems, and challenging the way we think about them. It also supports long-term solutions by finding alternative coping strategies. At White Dove Counselling and Mediation, we are trained in CBT, and a counselor is standing by to support you in your time of need.
