In their words
“Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program”
I was in a dark place when I started Charlie Health. I was either going into a hospital or going to die. Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program and made sure I had the backing and support I needed right away. I was able to advocate with work about my needs with my primary therapist's support. Everyone in groups were so nice and helpful.I loved connecting with people going through struggles like mine.
