QuotesQuotes“This is a wonderful group because we get to express ourselves and not feel bad about it because we all got problems to deal with. We help each other get through it together. P.S. This is Cool” “JJTC has helped a lot. I always feel
welcome when I come here. I would also like to remain active in the program after I graduate.”
“Family sessions are positive experiences, helping teens and family relate to each other and to the fact that they are all in similar situations. It gives us a chance to express thoughts, feelings, without being judged in a negative fashion, plus the trust of confidentiality. When you leave, you will have a feeling of relationship, hope and acceptance.”Juvenile’s Parent
“I helped the humane society Raise money and I felt good throwing out candy to the kids.”
“I did a good thing that day by handing candy to kidsand to toddlers.”
