Helpful Resources

The photographs displayed in this gallery below serve as clickable resources connecting you to essential support services. Each image links to dedicated assistance program for Veterans, for LGBTQIA+ community members, for crisis intervention services, for substance use support, for housing assistance, for fuel assistance programs, and for comprehensive services through the Department of Human Services. Simply click on any photograph to access information, contact details, and guidance for the specific support services you need. Some of the links are associated with clinical providers/authors who have written books that may be of help to you and have websites of their own. I am always looking for new helping resources to add for the convenience of people seeking assistance. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and offer your ideas! ~ Carol Ann
