On August 12, 2022, a major national news headline about a substantial technology company facing bankruptcy sent ripples across the United States. For Jake*, a 35-year-old mechanic in Hiram, Kentucky, this news was about to take a personal twist.

Jake learned through a friend about the bankruptcy of the tech giant. This company had supplied a tool Jake had relied on for years. The sudden end of support for this pivotal piece of equipment threatened to cripple his small auto repair shop.

The news brought an unexpected wave of emotion for Jake, as it triggered memories of instability from his past. When he was younger, his father had lost a job due to corporate downsizing, leading to a difficult period for Jake's family.

Lost and desperate for solutions, Jake turned to the Stepping Into Action program he found through the website hofmanhollis.com. He decided to follow their resources, hoping for guidance to navigate his troubles.

Jake dedicated evenings to exploring the program. One night, while working through a module on managing unexpected change, he found a bit of solace. 'Understanding that these moments require resilience rather than fear has been eye-opening,' he mused.

Opinions from experts varied. Dr. Amelia Ross, a well-known psychologist, believed this program effectively boosted individual resilience. Meanwhile, some critics argued that such programs could foster false hope by suggesting easy fixes to complex problems.

In retrospect, Jake felt that seeking help was the right choice. Though challenging, the online resources provided a lifeline when local options were limited. It underscored the importance of reaching out, even virtually, in times of crisis.
