About We Care Counseling Center
"In
the short time we are going to spend together we do not expect miracles,
although they sometimes happen. Through the use of lectures, groups,
scheduled one on ones, and outside speakers, we hope to move your through a process of guided self-help. The staff
does not intend to do something to you or for you. Rather, this program is
a time for you to make changes you will find helpful in beginning and
maintaining a lifestyle which promotes happiness for you and for those around
you."
