Just what we needed
We were at a breaking point with my nephew’s aggressive behavior. New Journey stepped in with crisis stabilization and didn’t give up on him. He’s calmer, communicating better, and getting the help he needs. They made a difference fast.Alice Deavers

Hope & Clarity
After years of fear and confusion, New Journey gave my family direction. Their MHIOP program helped my husband regain some independence. The staff was firm but compassionate. They understand mental illness like few places do. We trust them completely.Roger Severs

Very Thankful
New Journey Family Services showed up when no one else would. My cousin has a dual diagnosis and couldn’t hold it together. Their outpatient support gave him structure, and they never made him feel broken. It’s the best care we’ve seen.Allison Hopewell




FAQs
Mental health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, and handle stress, relationships, and decision-making. Good mental health doesn’t mean feeling happy all the time—it means being able to function, cope with life’s challenges, and recover from setbacks. Mental health issues can range from temporary stress or anxiety to more serious conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. These conditions are treatable with the right support. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be cared for with the same attention, compassion, and professional help when needed.
Group psychotherapy offers peer support, reduces feelings of isolation, provides diverse perspectives, and allows individuals to practice social skills in a safe environment.
Self-help empowers individuals to take control of their well-being through resources like books and online forums, complementing therapy by reinforcing coping strategies and personal growth between sessions.
Group therapy is effective for depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction recovery, grief processing, and improving interpersonal relationships.
The choice depends on personal comfort with sharing in a group setting; individual therapy offers privacy and tailored attention, while group therapy provides communal support and shared experiences.
Facilitators guide discussions, ensure a safe space for sharing, manage dynamics among members, provide feedback, and help set therapeutic goals.
