Vanessa Wilk
no hope for the future is no longer suicidal, still struggles with
depression but is looking forward to graduating from high school
and starting college. A drug addicted young adult who had damaged every family relationship and
friendship and dropped out of school is now clean and working on repairing relationships, building

Are their lives better? Do they know how to handle their symptoms better? Has their ability to
communicate their feelings and needs improved? Are their relationships stronger? Is family life more
peaceful and rewarding? Yes! Every day, every step, every accomplishment brings them that much
closer to achieving their goals. At Child & Family Center we celebrate the successes and we constantly
strive to inspire hope and healing.
