“Breakthroughs and growth happen here. I am humbles by the strength of the people who share with me, and I am honored to participate in their development. I have wateched people in severe crisis stabalize and move forward with hope. I’ve seen folks reclaim power in sistuations that felt helpless to them. I have witnesses people get through heartbreak, loss of loved ones, and manage seemingly unmanagable situations. I have seen light come back into dulled eyes.
