Heart Support


The Family Force 5 concert we went to the other night was sponsored by a group called Heart Support. It's an orginazation that helps kids with their troubles by sharing their stories and being able to read other people's stories, in hopes that kids will feel like they are not alone. The problems the kids deal with on the site range from eating disorders to cutting to depression to substance abuse. Any issue that kids struggle with are on this site. They have counselors who e-mail kids and talk with them, and they encourage them to get local help from counselors. They think the first step to recovery is being able to talk about the issues that you are going through, and this site is designed to help the kids get there. If you know anybody who needs help in a certain area, use this as a resource. It's www.heartsupport.com.
