Living with a mental illness is hard, and having a mental illness while trying to maintain your relationships and responsibilities can seem almost unbearable. Depending on what kind of mental health condition you have, you may not be able to make it to work some days because you feel like you cannot get up and out of bed. There are plenty of counselors in the Gallup area who understand these feelings and can help. 

The City of Gallup has a very rich history with a solid Native American background. In fact, it is on the New Mexico Scenic Byways and the Trails of the Ancient Byways, which feature prehistoric Indian geological and archaeological sites. Exploring these interesting trails are a great way to boost your endorphins and improve your mood.  Talk to a counselor in or near Gallup about exercise therapy as an option today.
