A Story of Youth Success

“One of the very first families that I had the pleasure of opening has been such a pleasure to work with. 2 siblings were both enrolled by dad. Both have have gone through great changes but have been very resilient. Both have different likes and dislikes and joined different groups. Communication and honesty have improved all thanks to therapy and learning great positive coping skills from groups the SP's have attended." - SDYS Staff Member
