We are Appalachian strong. For generations, we've been left to fend for ourselves, and that’s made us more than just survivors—it’s made us resourceful beyond measure. We know the power of community, of rallying together when times are tough. Alone, we may feel small, but together, we are unstoppable. Our strength is in our unity, our resilience. We don’t just endure—we rise. We are strong. We are Appalachian strong.

"Just like the bravery it takes to do counseling, there are some brave people to take the leap we did."
