“St. Vincent has been a true blessing in our lives! I was getting calls several times each week about my children’s disruptive behaviors. One of my boys repeated a grade level due to failing grades. I needed help and didn’t know where to turn. I felt ashamed as a parent because we are living in chaos. St Vincent helped us build trusting relationships and gave us tools to be successful.”
