“My virtue is through overcoming personal experiences with childhood trauma and PTSD. I know the vulnerability and uncertainty of letting someone in and have felt the fear of revisiting difficult memories. With me, you are safe; I promise to be with you for every step (or stumble) of your journey.”
Creating A Resilient Environment is the foundation of CARE Institute. We will remain diligent in our role to provide mental health care and continued education for our community and practicing professionals.
