We want to start by introducing you to Jenna*, a 16 year old young woman who has faced more hardship than most people experience in a lifetime. Growing up with abuse, neglect, and instability left Jenna carrying deep anger, sadness, and fear. Those feelings often showed up as emotional outbursts and aggression, making it hard for her to feel safe, understood, or in control.
With the support of Youth Homes and her Therapeutic Behavioral Specialist - and through an incredible amount of her own courage and effort - Jenna slowly began to heal. She learned to recognize what was happening inside her body and mind when she felt overwhelmed, and she practiced new ways to cope with big emotions. Over time, Jenna replaced aggression with healthier outlets like boxing, cooking, and art, and began taking accountability for her choices while asking for the support she needed to keep growing.
Jenna’s story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when young people are met with compassion and consistency. Your generosity makes this healing possible by ensuring youth like Jenna have access to trauma-informed care and trusted adults who don’t give up on them.
