"Participants are telling us how our help has made a difference in their lives. We’ve helped a mom improve her mental health overall so that she is able to obtain custody back of her child. A young man on the autism spectrum, with severe OCD, is in the process of obtaining his PWD through our support. Many have shared they are learning so much about OCD and how thankful they are for the support."
