Resources to help you
I just want to let you know that I am not a certified doctor, therapist or counselor. These resources I put together to help you find a place to start to help you get started. There are many websites and other resources and programs that can assist you. We will continue to add resources to this list as we get feedback from you and as we start joining other programs and working together. If there is a subject that you think should be on the list let us know and I will make sure to add it. I am glad that Colbys Impact Foundation found you and we can help you in anyway possible.
