STEPSTONE CONNECT
Stepstone Connect
Stepstone is a an alternative form of counseling, it is all done via video conferencing. You don’t have to drive to an office and you don’t have to sit in a waiting room hoping to not be recognized. You don’t have to figure out what day of the week you can go that fits in with your shift schedule and your family schedule. You meet with a counselor on-line, they work around your shift work schedule, they can connect you with a specialist who just might happen to be in Florida but they are the best in the business with what you are dealing with. And they take insurance.
