“I wanted to send you a huge THANK YOU. You connected me with a mentor [named] Georgia. I wanted you to know that this has been one of the most positive experiences. As I have navigated through my son\u2019s recent episode, three hospitalizations, and medication change Georgia has been there like a rock for me to lean on. She helped me find hope and new perspective when I felt at my lowest point. Thank you for setting up this program and connecting us. I am forever grateful.”<\/p>\n
