I sent my teenage son to the Center when he was in high school and was dealing with depression. I later became a Board member and saw first hand what a top notch organization this is. They have added help for veterans and use a holistic approach - body, mind and spirit. They try to never turn anyone away because of inability to pay. Donations and grants help them help others!
