Resources For Your Journey

We all need some sort of help during our lifetime.  Some have suffered unbearable traumas while others may just need a friend who is just willing to listen to them. 

Whatever your problem or issue, whether it be mental, emotional, spiritual or physical, I have tried to include resources that will address a myriad of issues.  Some are faith based programs.  Some not. 

There is help here for anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma based events, sexual assault, suicide, relationships, marriage and many more.  Take a look.  You may find what you need.  May God walk with you through your search.

List of Hotlines

In general, hotlines have three things in common:

1) they are available to call 24/7

3) they are free

Here’s a list of hotlines that may help you in whatever situation you find yourself in. Check out the bottom for chat and text lines as well!  Feeling Overwhelmed?
