Springs of Change

Cameron Smith* was sipping his morning coffee when he saw the headline on March 15, 2023. The news was stunning: an unexpected decision to close a local brewery due to a sudden bankruptcy filing. As he read through the details, his mind wandered back to a time when alcohol had a particularly destructive grip on his life.

This news story triggered memories of Cameron's father who was an alcoholic. The brewery incident reminded Cameron of nights spent hoping his father wouldn't come home drunk, the anger and turmoil that had plagued his childhood. Unable to concentrate on any other task, he found himself feeling restless and unsettled.

Desperate for some form of guidance, Cameron stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman & Hollis website. After reading through the material, he decided to commit to the program, hoping it would help him navigate his emotions and find a way forward. As Cameron delved deeper, he started utilizing the tools provided, meticulously following step-by-step plans to address and heal from his past traumas.

'I realized I was carrying so much from my past, and confronting it was both terrifying and liberating,' he said. 'The program helped me see that change was possible, even for someone my age.'

Yet, opinions about such online programs are divided. Some experts praise their accessibility and structured approach, noting that they offer valuable tools for those in remote locations or with tight schedules.

Others, however, argue that online programs lack the personal touch necessary for effective therapy. They emphasize the importance of face-to-face interactions, suggesting that online resources should only supplement traditional counseling methods.

In the end, Cameron felt that seeking help through the Stepping Into Action program was one of the best decisions of his life. Though finding readily available resources in Huguenot was challenging, the online format provided the support he needed to take control of his life and start anew.
