Ongoing Support

Telling one person what you carry can be an important first step. Consider reaching out to a pastor, a friend, or a family member you trust.

For continued care, a licensed counselor or therapist can walk with you over time. Your doctor or insurance provider can help you find one nearby.

You are not alone, and God has not forgotten you.
