Hello Members,

As we continue in these unprecedented times, I would like to let you know that you are not alone. All of us are struggling with concerns for our clients, families and country. I have found myself continuing to use the phrase “survival mode” just trying to get through day by day. I also have hope. We are all looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel, but please remember self care. We are just as human as those we are serving. Anxiety is rampant right now, and trying to calm others when we are not sure about the futures ourselves can be very taxing. I encourage you to continue with self care and look for the smallest of victories in your daily life. We can be steadfast in the ever changing world we live in right now. Continue to hope and inspire those around you, the children of this  state depend on each and every one of you! Together we can overcome and be better for it. Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication!
