First Step.
The Program.
Welcome! This is First Step: 6 modules, 16 chapters, 1 certificate—and maybe, just maybe, the beginning of something life-changing. What’s our goal? To help you understand mental illness—what it feels like, what it means, and how it shows up in your life or someone else’s. I’ll be with you, walking through each step, not as a distant expert but as someone who’s been here before. Let’s take this step together. I will meet you at Module 1 below.
Understanding starts with honesty. Real stories, real feelings—this is where the journey begins.
Stigma is everyone’s problem—but no one thinks it’s theirs. It’s time to face the truth and take ownership.
Depression whispers lies we start to believe, forcing us to hide behind a mask. Is your pain just life—or could it be something more?
Hopelessness feels permanent, but it’s not. We’ll tackle the darkness, why it holds us back, and how to find light—one step at a time.
You may not struggle yourself, but chances are you care about someone who does. This module helps you understand, support, and show up—even when you don’t “get it.”
If you had a toothache, you’d see a dentist. So why not chase relief for your mental health pain? Taking the first step has no downside to it. You have nothing to lose by reaching out and everything to gain.
