“I identify with many of the concerns noted above from personal experience. Taking the first step in seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but of hope. I would like to take this walk with you to encompassing and embrace the whole self. Remember, movement forward whether it be a push, roll, walk, crawl, or scoot is a step in the right direction. Take each day moment by moment.”
