"I accomplished more by planning to get things done and setting a goal. Talking to other people who have experienced anxiety and other health problems has helped as well."

“It was great to meet others with the same condition. We were able to vent our feelings freely and offered each other encouragement and support. Everyone learned that we are not alone.”

– P. H. (participant newly diagnosed with Diabetes)
