    Learning to believe in yourself

    For years Alex was ruled by his anxiety, as he bounced from one job to the next, always feeling worthless and never confident in his abilities. Then one day he was offered a job, and he decided that this time, he would stick it out no matter what. He never imagined that decision would be the first step towards helping him feel more confident in his work, and in himself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Stronger Together

    For Chad, the hardest thing about living with a disability, was learning how to ask for help. For years, he covered up his struggles at school with anger, aggressive outbursts, and withdrawal, hoping no one would notice that he was different. Chad was on a dangerous path, one he didn't want to keep going down. It took courage to admit that he might need a bit of help to have the future he dreamed of.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
