Like Chris said there's no stigma here. We're all in this together.
Sincerely,
David

Hi Bretsch,
It's good to hear from you.
I was sent by VESID, known as OVR in 1989, for training at ICD. This enabled me to find my first full-time job as an administrative assistant.
I wish you good luck with everything.
Sorry you've encountered stigma. Let me tell you there is no stigma here. This is a stigma-free zone where we all support each other.
In solidarity,
cb
