Created and maintained by students at the University of Oregon, Comfort Corner tells stories of real people living with mental health and mood disorders, acting as a middle ground for those affected by these issues but who may not be ready to talk with someone about them. Comfort Corner offers stories of hope and encouragement, demonstrating that things do and can get better, even if it doesn't always feel like it.
