Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the United States, affecting approximately 40 million adults each year — nearly 19% of the population. Despite being highly treatable, only about 36.9% of those affected receive treatment.
In New Hampshire, mental health challenges are particularly pressing. The state ranks among the highest for anxiety prevalence, with 1 in 5 adults reporting symptoms consistent with an anxiety disorder. The COVID-19 pandemic further increased rates of anxiety across the region, with many adults experiencing symptoms for the first time.
These aren’t just statistics — they represent people in Salem, Derry, Nashua, Manchester, and across New England who deserve access to compassionate, evidence-based mental health treatment.

Understand that anxiety disorders are medical conditions, not weakness or overreacting. Learn how anxiety affects the brain and nervous system, and why “just relax” or “stop worrying” isn’t helpful. Knowledge helps you respond with patience rather than frustration.
There’s a difference between validating someone’s feelings and helping them avoid everything that triggers anxiety. Acknowledge their fear is real, but gently encourage them to face situations rather than retreat. Avoidance reinforces anxiety over time.
Recovery from anxiety isn’t linear. There will be good days and setbacks. Stay supportive through both. Avoid expressing frustration when they struggle — your patience is one of the most powerful forms of support you can offer.
Use gentle, non-judgmental language: “I’ve noticed you seem stressed lately, and I want to help” rather than “You need to see someone.” Offer specific help — like calling Trailhead together or driving them to their first appointment.
Supporting someone with anxiety can be emotionally draining. Consider therapy for yourself, set healthy boundaries, and maintain your own routines. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. We offer individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups covering mental health education, communication strategies, and building a supportive home environment.
