Get a Youth Mentor
“[My mentor] helped me get my life back in order by first teaching me how to set realistic goals, getting me into sober housing, and then provided transportation to enroll into school. … I think having a mentor helped keep me accountable and challenged me to achieve my goals. It was the best tool I’ve had in my recovery!”
