It’s Time to Talk: Empowerment Starts with You ePromotion - Day 7

Day 7: Know Your Resources

Help is out there! 

Start the conversation and empower others to get the help they need and deserve.  An individual in distress may not know where to turn for help and you may be their best resource.  Keep these contacts available and add others you find may be helpful.
