Another Landmark Case in York County!
Upon initial referral, Peter was a depressed and angry 17 year old with little support in his life. He was referred from probation for trespassing and providing false information to a police officer.

He wasn’t in our home very long on the first visit and Joey walked into the kitchen with a lot of attitude. Steve volunteered to help him with a chore that needed done. That was the start of an impressive relationship. We were stunned that Joey (who is 15) took to Steve that fast. It...
