When Maria entered the Damamli program in April of 2006, she was excited about this program and what the future might hold. She had recently been kicked out of her foster home for fighting with the other foster child and later bounced from foster home to foster home due to her non-compliance with the household rules and incidents of being AWOL (absent without leave). In spite of this, Maria was an honor roll student that didn’t allow her pregnancy to get her off track.

What is success to youth in HHY programs? Going to school, establishing healthy relationships, making their bed, controlling their temper, following directions, coming to terms with their feelings, brushing their hair and teeth, respecting adults and peers, caring for their child, attending therapy, working a part-time job? Yes! All of these and more!

HHY helps youth achieve and exceed their personal expectations. The youth we serve often suffer from emotional disorders that affect self-esteem. By setting goals that are achievable, youth gain self-confidence and self-respect. And that is when they begin to heal and grow.
