Hi Lori and Heartlanders!
I am excited about this project, and I have been working on a paper regarding
play therapy in the genetic health care field and am awaiting approval for a
survey I hope to send everyone in the Heartland to evaluate availability of
psychosocial services and particularly if there are any support groups or play
therapy groups for children diagnosed with a genetic disorder. I hope you wont
mind if I use this group for this project I am working on in my master's
program in social work. If not, please let me know.

Using telethealth for support groups is an exciting possibility for our rural
states!

Thank you and have a nice weekend!
