A visit to the city of Cheboygan is like stepping back in time. Located at the mouth of Cheboygan River, the city is surrounded by water on three sides. The small city with approximately 4,700 residents takes immense pride in their heritage and their family oriented culture. Events and activities are hosted year round in the town’s downtown Festival Square.

It can be hard to imagine feeling depressed or out of sorts in such beautiful settings surrounded by communal spirit, but your mental well being can be affected at any time in any setting. If you find yourself experiencing dark thoughts or having difficulty getting through the day it might be a good idea to seek out the services of a local area therapist or counsellor. The sooner you feel better, the sooner you can go back to a normal life.
