From Hardship to Hope

Are you a person with a clinical license working with individuals at risk of suicide? Are you interested in sharing your experiences with a research team?

From Hardship to Hope, a peer-led financial wellness program for people experiencing financial hardship and recent thoughts of suicide, is conducting focus groups to get feedback from several stakeholder groups to develop a program that is as feasible, culturally responsive, and effective as possible.

Beautiful People

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
