On October 29, 2022, news broke about a major cyber attack targeting a large financial institution. While the news seemed distant to many, it hit close to home for John*, a resident of Brampton, North Dakota. John had once been a bright star in the tech industry, but a similar cyber attack years ago led to the downfall of his career and triggered a serious battle with alcohol abuse.

As John read the news, he felt a familiar wave of anxiety wash over him. Memories of lost opportunities and strained relationships flooded his mind. It connected deeply to a specific incident from his past, igniting an urge to find help. John stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program at hofmanhollis.com and decided to give it a try.

The program offered structured guidance and practical steps. As John navigated through the materials, he felt a renewed sense of hope. 'The real journey is not just about finding help, it is about wanting to change' shared John in one of the program’s forums.

Experts from the field praised programs like Stepping Into Action for offering accessible support to those in need. Dr. Sarah Mitchell lauded the initiative, stating that online resources can bridge critical gaps in local mental health services. However, some argue that online programs may lack the personalized care that in-person therapy provides.
