Support and Education

If you can join a group, we recommend it. Realizing that you're not alone and that others are facing common challenges is a tremendous step towards building knowlegde and coping skills.  Change may come slowly, but sharing the journey with others who have "been through the ropes" can help "lift your burden" and point the way towards new options.
