A Family Reunited by Hope
Marcus wanted to go home, and his parents, Maria and James, were trying their best to make that happen. But their visits were tough. Everyone cared about each other, yet there was a lot of sadness and things they didn’t know how to say.
That started to change when they began working with A Better Way’s Therapeutic Visitation Services.
A Boy’s Depression Lifts with Therapy
At just 14, Jordan felt himself slipping into deep depression — spending hours alone, withdrawing from friends, and clashing with his grandmother, his primary caregiver. Their home had become a place of stress instead of support.
Everything began to change the day they met with one of A Better Way’s mental health clinicians.
She needed someone to believe in her
When I first met Angela, a bright high-schooler living with ADHD, she was losing confidence fast. Expectations felt overwhelming — at school, at home, everywhere — and she often felt misunderstood by the people around her.
But with patience, partnership, and the right supports, everything began to change.
A Mother and Son find Support
When I first met Jasmine — a single mother carrying the weight of unimaginable trauma — she was doing everything she could to care for her two sons. But the pain she and her eldest had endured made it hard to find stability, connection, or support. What she needed most was someone to walk beside her.
That’s when our work together began.
