As many LBP’s suffer from depression and thoughts of suicide the following is a list of hotlines and webpages to reach out to when you’re in need. Depression DOES NOT have to be a life sentence. Your kids will not see you again if you’re not here.

If you are struggling emotionally reach out and seek help.
