Read what a couple of Affect's members have said about our program:
"Just wanted to check-in and share my appreciation for all the support you've given me. I struggled the past 2 days with an episode of past trauma. But I used the skills the Affect team helped me build and reached out to a crisis counselor and came up with a plan of action to address my Trauma with help, in a healthy way. I felt powerless in the moment but I remembered I can reach out for help. If it wasn't for consistent positive energy from everyone I don't think I could have worked through my episode. I'm grateful for everyone there."
"Thank you. And I look forward to this journey. Besides my first appointment on Friday I've had t[w]o meetings today both an hr long which does fly by!! But I can honestly say I have high hopes for this app and not just the app per say but the real people that are behind the app going over and beyond to reach out and touch lives of maybe the most broken souls in addiction, those who are afraid to reach out openly bc of judgment or abuse, trauma, shame guilt or whatever it maybe. Bc everyone I've met so far has honestly been an absolute God sent! You all seem so genuine, compassionate, excited and educated about what you are teaching and sharing with us! And I'm grateful for that. So thank you for making a difference in all the lives that you are currently touching and changing daily!"
These messages are common and a gift to everyone on the Affect Team.
We are making a difference.
Come Join the Affect Therapeutics team!! Be different!
