Supporting Wellness Together
Mental Health Awareness Month at New Outlook Counseling
This May, join us in recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month with New Outlook Counseling, a dedicated program by Catholic Charities aimed at nurturing mental well-being in our community.
The Unseen Impact
Navigating the Mental Health Crisis Post-COVID-19
As Fairfield County continues to grapple with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for mental health services has surged, reflecting a community deeply affected by prolonged stress and isolation. At Catholic Charities New Outlook Counseling, we are dedicated to meeting this growing need with compassion and expertise.
Personal Impact Stories

A recent college graduate struggled with depression. Her courage to reach out for support led to not only her recovery but also inspired her to volunteer, helping others facing similar challenges.
New Outlook Counseling helps seniors who feel more isolated than ever, connecting them to community resources.
Confronting Stigma in Mental Health
Breaking the Silence
Stigma surrounding mental health continues to be a formidable barrier, often silencing those in need from seeking help. At Catholic Charities New Outlook Counseling, we strive to dismantle these barriers through education and open dialogue.
Many individuals endure mental health challenges in isolation, fearing judgment or misunderstanding from their community. This fear can prevent them from accessing crucial support services that are vital for recovery and well-being.
By addressing and challenging the misconceptions about mental health, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment. Every step taken towards openness not only helps individuals but also strengthens the entire community.
Take Action for Mental Health Awareness
Begin by educating yourself and others about mental health issues. Understanding the complexities and realities of these conditions is the first step toward empathy and support.
