RESOURCES
So often we function as if everything is alright--we have it under control. Deep down inside we know that we are on the brink of collapse.
Seeking help—whether as an individual, couple, or family—is not a sign of weakness but one of faith and courage. Don’t give in to shame or pride. Seek the help you need. These resources will provide information that may address some of your concerns.
No matter how dreary the situation or how overwhelming the problem, there is hope!
