I'd like to invite you to join me today for my lectures on Zoom at 12noon and 7pm. Details can be found on our website, startingpoint.org

Today's topic is the first in the series on the holidays, "The Commercial Side of The Holidays". Let's go on a journey in history, how these special days were changed by different ways the commercial and financial world changed them. Hope to see you there today and if you can't make it, all the lectures are recorded and can be found on our website under Vince's Corner.
Sending prayers 🙏 ❤️ and love 🙏 ❤️ to all. Have a blessed and peaceful day! 🙏 ❤️

Some days, we carry it all. Other days, it carries us.

If you've ever found yourself smiling on the outside while struggling to hold it all together inside, you’re not alone.

In our latest blog post, Kim Tribbett, MA, LPC, NCC explores the importance of seeking counseling—not as a sign of weakness, but as an act of courage and hope. Whether you're at a breaking point or simply searching for clarity and calm, counseling can be the first step toward rediscovering your strength and moving forward.

Gratitude Today. Giving Tuesday Next Week. 🫶

As we reflect on this season of gratitude, we’re especially thankful for you, our community of supporters, volunteers, donors, and friends who continue to make Starting Point’s mission possible.

Because of you, countless individuals and families have found support, connection, and hope during their most difficult moments. Thank you for walking beside us on this journey.

Next week, we’ll join a global movement for good: Giving Tuesday on December 2. It's a powerful reminder that giving back is one of the most meaningful ways to give thanks.

If you’re feeling grateful this season and looking for a way to share that gratitude, consider making a gift to help open the door to healing for individuals and families.

Don't let the season’s busyness delay your impact, make a gift now or mark your calendar for Dec 2. Here's how your generosity will help:

💛 $25 – Covers a resource referral session
💛 $50 – Helps fund a therapy intake for someone in crisis
💛 $100 – Supports a counseling session for someone without insurance
💛 $250+ – Provides sustained support for someone in recovery

Together, we can remove barriers to healing and ensure that no one is turned away when they walk through our door. https://bit.ly/484LGhZ
