"A Family Member or Close Friend Needs Help."
Finding the right kind of help for someone you care about is challenging. You may recognize help is needed, but feel powerless, exhausted, or overwhelmed when you try to assist a parent, spouse, adult child, or young son or daughter. We help you sort through options and find ways to create a circle of care.
"Someone I Don't Know Very Well Seems to Need Help."
Perhaps you are concerned about an individual you work with, or a classmate, or a neighbor, or a member of your faith group. Maybe you are concerned about a tenant or a patron you have seen at a store or library. If you sense the need for help, but you worry that your good intentions could be misunderstood, call us.
