This time of year more than any can be emotionally and mentally trying,
not only for us but for our loved ones as well.
In connection with our production of It’s a Wonderful Life,
Theatre Agápe has put together local resources to help.

Feeling overwhelmed? Here’s a quick message from our Director of Social Impact, Jazmine Danner, MSSA, LISW-S:
“Don’t try to change/improve everything at once.
At most, work on one area from each section of the assessment.”
