Friends With Hope Bereavement Support Group
Sari Altman
I have friends and family (including myself) who have struggled with mental health issues. At one point, I was desperate for help and remembered Annette Craig speaking about With Hope at my son's middle school. I can’t put into words the gratitude I have for Annette, Patti Ferraro, and With Hope. They are truly life saving friends. I love With Hope and feel blessed to have the opportunity to listen, empower, and support others.
