Hope this isn’t intrusive but I have decent google fu.

It might be geared more at people that aren’t out yet but hopefully some made it out and still go for maintenance support 🤞

I will say though that CBT isn’t for everyone either - also avoid the ‘find treatment now’ buttons on the second site and go directly to the meeting links, as Better Help is known to be dodgy as hell.
