“Everything was absolutely fantastic. Very timely response and great information. I was very hesitant to use this at first but I am so glad I did. Once again thank you all for everything.”
“Thank you for the 2nd Alarm Project. This service will help save lives.”
“You have someone that knows what is going on and actually cares. I know there are people that are struggling worse than I am, which makes it hard to ask for help. You make it feel like it is okay to reach out and that it doesn't make me weak.”
“The help I have received has been wonderful!”
“Knowing there is a person that you can text or call any time makes a big difference. Knowing that I could call you at 8 PM while I was having a panic attack...and you were there and answered... it made me feel like this project actually has people that are there for you at the drop of a hat and that care about you.”
“I was able to get an initial appointment quickly and have been able to meet with my clinician weekly, without scheduling conflicts. Truly grateful!”
