The holiday season can be some of the most isolating times for people who are battling for their mental wellness. Even the most connected people, with seemingly robust social lives and networks feel alone in this battle.  This is why Goby Ministries has created the Not Alone Campaign. #NotAlone is a call to action to commit to not letting isolation win. Whether that is for you or for somebody you know. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed with life, raise your hand. Speak up, speak out and engage in the conversation. Because one of the most effective interventions for loneliness is intentional connection. Help us build a community that can believe together, we can take one more step, one more breath and give one more word of encouragement. We are #NotAlone. Text Not Alone to 940-329-5049 for connection and community and share the number with others!
