Many people in this organization have helped me maintain and assist me as much as they can to get me stable mentally. The rest is up to me. I know alot of the people giving one star reviews on here and that is because they want everyone to do everything for them. You have to do things on your part to get a result too people. They can only do so much and they do. I'm eternally grateful to MHA.
