YES, I certainly could use some help.!! I have NOT had any personal experience with many of the topics associated with ARD - and I'm finding my volunteer efforts a little overwhelming at this time. I could cut back or quit; but I don't want to do that. Volunteering information has been very therapeutic for me; and the " distraction technique " (of volunteering) sure beats having to pay a professional person many $$$$$$$$'s
