Mentor
A good way to make it through the transition is to connect with someone who is experienced in helping others in this way, or who has successfully made this transition themselves.  A mentoring relationship is based on trust, confidentiality, and open communication, and is intended to help someone connect with what they need to adjust and get established in the world.  Contact Us to learn more details, or to talk with an experienced mentor.  Please indicate your preference for male or female.

Counseling
There are counselors and therapists who are offering their services free of charge or at a reduced rate.   One of them has said that it is important to develop a healthy ego to drop & pick up when appropriate.  A mentor can help you connect with a counselor.

Support
People are finding that mutual support of those in the same situation is the most helpful therapy of all.  As many reside in the L.A. area, it is recommended to live in this area for a while to enjoy the support and fellowship.  Otherwise, moving immediately out of the L.A. area may lead to a sense of isolation.
