Can you direct me to legitimate organizations to help with teens in crisis? I have had a burning desire to help teens since I was a teenager. For some reason these kids continue to cross paths with me and my family. I am now seeing this as a confirmation of the burning desire to help in some way. My son dated a girl for a couple of years who ended up living from couch to couch and the situation really broke my heart. In my attempt to get help for her I was very discouraged. I called the school and told them of the situation but they did nothing. I offered my home on the weekends and soon realized she was just one of many of what I call the “forgotten ones” unwanted teenagers. These kids make every attempt to maintain a normal routine and appearance on the outside – going to school playing sports, but no longer have a stable/safe family to care for them. In my heart I know this population of kids is bigger than I have ever imagined and I truly want to know what resources are out there for these kids and how can I help spread the word to others and make a difference. sincerely Beth Ward

Hey Uncle Bob! Yes, I have a demo of my presentation, but not the whole thing. I’m making copies of them now. Did Mom tell you that I’m starting a non-profit? I’m a bit nervous.

By any chance was a video made of your presentation. Certainly impressive to see the volume of penetrating comments.

You have awakened in these young people an awareness and understanding of a problem that effects their own age group and from their comments, You did a great job.
