Stress Center Peer Support

Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University is a 12 or 13 week program which does a WONDERFUL job of helping to make a real plan to deal with finances and debt. I find it to be a Godsend for finances, as I find Lucinda's program to be a Godsend for anxiety & stress. It's all about the choices we make a...

I can truly believe these were the hardest days of your life. Please be proud of yourself for utilizing the skills you've learned in this program. I am very happy to hear your daughter came through well and you managed to get through it too!
