I have depression and anxiety, but I’m not those labels. I think I'm capable of being much more.

When Laura was dealing with depression, she searched for support. Thanks to United Way, she found mental health resources that gave her hope and a new outlook. 

Now, she feels empowered to navigate life’s challenges.
