What It Means to be Gr8ter
* WiTH 4 Simple Steps *

Gr8ter empowers adults and youth to move past shame and step forward into the life they deserve.  If you've found yourself in a struggle, practicing these four steps will lead you to be Gr8ter than your highs and lows.
​Hold on to hope.  Believe that you CAN and DESERVE to have a joy-filled, successful, and rewarding life.  We've done it and we know it's possible for you, too.  If you're in a place that feels hopeless right now, that's okay, we'll hold the hope for you.
Commit to Stepping Forward.  Keep trying!  Don't stop trying new things that may help you.  There are endless possibilities of modalities that may be what you need.  This is an individual game and what works for one person may not work for someone else.
​Be Open.  Share freely.  To get past the shame and other barriers that may be holding you back, you must be open about what you are going through.  Talk to a friend, counselor,  support group, or in our facebook group.  Vulnerability is the key to slaying shame and being empowered.  Relationships are key to a joy-filled life.
​Help Others.  Encourage and empower others to grow.  Share your journey and teach them these simple steps to success.

What people are saying...

"After spending five weeks at a treatment facility, to help me cope with my severe depression and suicidal plans, I was gifted a sock kit.  I immediately had tears in my eyes...to think that someone thought I deserved that gift was beyond my comprehension.  Every time I wear those socks, I'm taken back to the day I received them and the love that came with them.
