One of the toughest things to do in the midst of running a youth outreach program is to change course - especially when it means re-training everyone involved.

They weren't equipped to walk with the kids they were working with through life. Hear how they made the jump to a trauma informed approach, the transformation that happened and the changes on staff on today's episode!
