A workbook for emotional health

Participated as one of the test communities for the book with my work in Akron OH and the Bridges Summit County initiative. A great addition to Getting Ahead and should be seen as an add on....not a stand alone module. Recommended to be used by social workers and counselors as the amount of baggage folks bring to light working through this can be staggering.
