Bobby Carter has spent nearly two decades with StarCare. He says crisis can hit anyone without warning, no matter how put-together someone looks from the outside. "It could just be someone like me and you," Carter said. "We could be having a difficult time and we find ourselves in situations that maybe we cannot deal with, we cannot cope with."
Carter points to warning signs people should watch for in friends or family, including losing interest in things they used to enjoy. The team exists to respond when those struggles reach a breaking point.
For people here, that means a mental health crisis does not have to wait until Monday morning or until an emergency room visit feels like the only option. Help is available at any hour, which matters most for the neighbor, coworker, or family member nobody expected to be struggling.
