Testimonials

If we did not launch Hope Means Nevada when we did just before the pandemic, the outcomes that we are seeing now would be much worse.

Our primary goal is to remind those struggling with their mental health that options exist and should be used. We want individuals to remember that anxiety can be managed, depression can be treated, and suicide is not the answer. Together, we can offer hope to all Nevadans.
