SUCCESS STORY
At nine years old, Destiny was on an emotional roller coaster. Struggling to understand and cope with her parents’ divorce, Destiny would lash out at those closest to her. Fear and anger made it difficult for her to concentrate in school and her grades dropped. Destiny’s mother, Michaelle, knew the family needed help but didn’t know where to turn. They were referred to Full Service Schools where Destiny received one-on-one counseling. Destiny is now a happy, well adjusted 10 year old and excelling in school. Destiny says, “I used to not be able to talk to anyone. Now my grades have gone up, and I can handle my parent’s situation better.”
