Access Institute changed my life. I was married to a violent man and hated my job. I was young, overwhelmed by anxiety, on the verge of bankruptcy, and very depressed. Through my interactions with Access Institute, I was able to identify my strengths, leave my abusive relationship and find a new job that I like. Thank you to all who make it possible for me to afford care."
