Parent Testimonials:
“Four months into his high school career we were devastated to learn our fourteen year old son had become involved in drug use. This was affecting his behaviour, his school work, his social interactions and his physical well being. Thankfully we caught the problem early and were referred to the Essex County Diversion Program. With the program they’ve developed and the care and devotion of both his case worker and the director; our son was able learn the skills he needed to make better choices and see the long term consequences of his decisions. The Staff at Youth Diversion and their resource of community leaders were able to connect with him on a level of reality that no amount of parental punishment or lecturing would even come close to making a difference. Through assignments, research, counselling, community service and accountability this wonderful program was able to change the path of a young man who otherwise might have become a statistic. Two years later our son has guided other kids through tough times with the knowledge he gained at the Essex County Diversion Program. We are eternally grateful for the life changing help we received at the ECDP and know our son will go on to do great things in his life because of this.” Steven and Julie
