Celebrating Our Youth

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:47:00 GMT

As a recent “Graduate” of CFC, along with Billy his entire Child and Family Team members have a lot to celebrate. After being enrolled in CFC for almost 4 years Billy was recently discharged from the CMO and is now looking towards his very bright future. When asked about who Billy credits for all of his success he openly replies with, “ I would not be where I am today if it was not for my Care Manager Kelly Nasert—who always gave my team great ideas about how to help me get better but also my family for sure! My family has always stuck by me and I have learned to calm down and listen to them before I react.”

After receiving his High School diploma in 2008 he has been able to his credit become a junior volunteer Fire Fighter, held two jobs, and volunteers for the POP Warner Football league in his town. In his own words Billy’s plans also include, “being off medication in a few months and becoming a Navy Fire Fighter.” Billy has also volunteered his time to CFC in making committee decisions not only with the Service Provider Wraparound Training itself but the Youth Event Committee as well.

A True CFC Celebration!

Talk to someone you trust and don’t hold your feelings inside, you may end up going over the edge.

Surround yourself with positive people– my BA , friends & family are my support!
