On September 28, 2023, a news story broke about a major crackdown on a drug trafficking ring with extensive connections across the country, including small towns like Hunting Hill, Maryland. For most residents, this news was shocking yet remote, but for *Eva Sanders*, it hit home in an unexpected way.

*Eva*, a thirty-two-year-old mother of two, had battled substance abuse in her early twenties. She had long since turned her life around, but the news brought back a wave of memories and triggered her deeply. She remembered the dark times vividly and the impact it had on her family.

Realizing she needed to confront these feelings head-on, *Eva* decided to seek help. She stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman Hollis website. The practical steps and supportive community attracted her. She began to attend virtual sessions and follow the program rigorously.

One session stood out to her. During a group discussion, *Eva* shared, 'I never imagined that news like this would drag up so much from my past. It's almost like being forced to look into a mirror and acknowledge the reflection staring back at me.'

Experts weighed in on the program's effectiveness, praising its comprehensive approach and tailored exercises. However, some critics argued that virtual programs lacked the personal touch necessary for true healing, advocating instead for in-person support groups.

Despite the differing opinions, *Eva* found solace in the program. She noted a significant difference in how she handled stress and triggers. *Eva* reflected on her journey, realizing how crucial it was to have access to such support. Online programs provided a lifeline when local options were scarce, highlighting the importance of accessible mental health resources.
