Our family involvement began in 1983. At that times both of these boys were already involved in the juvenile court system...

...The First three months showed a remarkable change. He learned self-discipline, self respect and to value his word. Not by coercion, mind control or promises of “Pie in the Sky”. But simply by setting a physical goal, working toward it and by self-discipline, support and instruction achieving it. These are the first ingredients of self respect. As his life became more challenging and demanding, he learned to make choices and decisions which helped him eliminate obstacles which prevented him from attaining his original goal. This gave his life a better balance and more productivity. This spilled over to our family, the community and his life in general.
