Project Help, Inc.

Imagine a whole team of people on your side, when you feel no one is. That is more precious than gold. That is Project Help. Caring, kind, patient, non-judgmental, supportive and most highly professional describe them -- from the in-person intake process to therapy to the weekly Healing Circle. The therapist and facilitators were always well prepared. The therapy sessions buoyed me with practical support for daily life . The Healing Circle provided a creative, warm, safe place to dare to feel. The comfort dogs provided joy and love. Project Help provided me a lifeline for which I will always be most grateful.

Thanks to Project Help and my therapist, Cecil, I was able to get some of the best therapeutic services I have ever received in life. The tools and resources I was given helped me overcome and cope with past trauma. Cecil was very knowledgeable in the areas I needed help with and lead me down a path of recovery that I never thought was achievable. I will forever be thankful and appreciative of his help. Thank you, Cecil!

Finding the trauma-based, Grief Group at Project Help was like finding the missing piece to the puzzle that had become my life. Not only did the group provide a judgement-free, supportive, proper outlet where I could talk about the loss of my loved one, the trauma, and my grief, but for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel all alone in this journey. Finding people who had been through things as tragic as I had, provided an invaluable support system I desperately needed. A room full of strangers who’d all suffered completely different losses, became like a family to me. This grief group family not only helped to “normalize” my pain and struggle, it gave us all a place where it was okay to be “broken”. Our real family and friends may not have understood, or may not have wanted to hear about it anymore, but (group leader) Shaina Anderson, showed us that it was okay to feel the way we felt.. It was okay to let our sorrow, pain, anger, sadness, and brokenness out. It was okay to honor ourselves, to have bad days and bad moments, but it was also okay to feel joy, love, hope, and happiness again in our post-traumatic loss world! This group changed my life, and the dark, difficult path I was on. It jump-started my healing process, more than any other therapy I’d tried. It gave me the skills necessary to move forward feeling hopeful! It better equipped me to handle my toughest days, and gave me the confidence to feel less like a puddle, and more like a survivor! The road to healing is a beautiful one, thank you Shaina, and Project Help for all you did to get me here! Eternally grateful!
