Jeff

ACS provided extensive neuropsychological testing for this 9-year-old boy who was not attending school.  Our report and follow-up made a huge difference for him.

Melissa

16-year-old Melissa was out of control.  ACS helped her mom understand her bipolar disorder and put together a treatment plan that really worked!

Steven

A 16-year-old struggling with substance abuse, Steven got the support he needed through individual treatment at ACS.  He's now dedicated to graduating from high school.


Sopeah

We helped a 15-year-old girl and her mom get out of an abusive living situation.  In this case, other services were not effective and ACS was able to bridge a cultural divide so that the family could begin to get the support they needed.


Matt

A 14-year-old boy had a major improvement in his relationship with his mom as a result of attending the Adolescent Issues Group.


Jorge

After screening this 15-year-old the day he was in court, ACS helped Jorge manage his depression by getting his older brother more involved in his life.


Anthony

While his family was having a hard time meeting their basic needs, 13-year-old Anthony got into trouble at school.  ACS connected them with local services that carried them through and Anthony has matured into an honors student.
