Patch-Adams-12“No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” ~ Robin Williams

Some time has passed, and we continue to stand in awe as the number of new calls shows us how tragedy and loss can motivate others to find courage to reach out for help.  Our hearts continue to extend to Robin’s soul, his family and friends, and to others who experience emotional pain and suffering every single day…there is a light at the end of the tunnel and emotional transformation is possible with support and hard work. Fame, lack of privacy, and other factors we may never understand prevent many celebrities from being able to move through the tunnel and find a way out.  The depths of depression, anxiety, addiction, and emotional turmoil affect non-celebrities as well and the wonderful news is there are unlimited resources and professionals that can help.

Here are just some to help guide you along your path:
