Here from people we’ve supported
“I am eternally thankful for the work my ARMHS worker has done with me. I have flourished in a way that I think would have taken me so much longer, or maybe not have happened if I never got involved in ARMHS. I am stable and independent; and I handle things so much better. My interpersonal skills especially have improved drastically. I have a couple of 3s here, and they are entirely circumstantial and not through lack of trying from me and my ARMHS worker. Thank you so very much!”
“I was never aware that so much help was available to me.”
“Working in ARMHS is being able to provide support to others during the most challenging moments in their life. This job provides the privilege of giving compassion, inspiring hope, and teaching skills required to overcome their current situation.”
