Marco has learned how to live a full life with his disability physically, but he still has days where he feels “down in the dumps” and struggles to adjust mentally. He knows this has an effect on his spouse, as well. When Marco called the AAAPP, we were able to point him and his family members to a variety of services that helped to get his mental state to match up to how he was feeling physically.
Free community counseling is offered through our partner agencies in both one on one and group settings. To learn where you can access this free service, reach out to our counseling providers at Gulf Coast Jewish Family & Community Services at 727-507-4355.
