Singing the blues is a famously Clarksdale thing to do. But when you find yourself singing the blues a little too much and a little too long, you may be in need of a little help. Mental health is a thing that should be taken seriously.

Every one of us deals with highs and lows in life. But for some of us, the lows are harder to deal with. If you find yourself singing the blues too often, please reach out to a Clarksdale-area therapist or counselor for help. They can assess your needs, and provide the help you need.
