BACS betrayed me, as did another such agency here. Even while they also helped me, somewhat. But most of their proffered help never happened, which caused me serious problems and has cost me a great deal. I did almost all of the actual "work", including some of theirs, to help myself. But only after I finally realized and faced the fact thal they just weren't doing, and apparently didn't mean to dåo, important things that they had been assuring me they were and would.

What's more, they wanted me to help them and their organization. At first, I was more than willing to. I would have been a grateful 'testamonial' here, singing their praise. But, honestly, I can't. I'll remove this if the day ever comes that they make amends for what they did to me -- and what they didn't that they should have.

Be mindful of the harsh fact that The Helpers make darn good money, are paid, to do what they are supposed to. Not to play with people's lives irresponsibly.

I wanted to post a review on a great community agency BACS who takes care of our country's veterans who have returned from service and have many mental health issues such as PTSD, depression and anxiety issues. This agency is a true wrap around service provider healing one individual at a time. There follow through in support of our most vulnerable populations is awesome!
