"I first came to HYC for one of my children who needed counseling. HYC replied quickly, and my daughter began receiving weekly counseling services. My family and I have wonderful counselors that have had such a positive impact on our lives. HYC has helped my family tremendously, with weekly counseling services for myself and my daughter, holiday parties, and free robotics classes. All of the services have greatly benefited my family!"

~Mother of Four Children Receiving Mental Health Counseling
