At a young age I was subjected to traumatic events in life and without tools to process or cope with or properly work through the trauma and form healthy habits to handle anger stress, sadness and grief. It wasn't until many years later and after being tried by the fire of my own poor decisions and rugged path I had chose in life that I was able begin healing myself by speaking with counselors, completing bridges to safety and several anger management courses that I was able to begin my healing. I  am currently in the process of becoming a certified recovery mentor. Having walked a path that many of our Youth walk that considers them to be "At-Risk" I am experienced with being able to provide them with the tools needed for healthy choices which will help them become productive members of society.
