“We do not have bad kids,” said Kabler. “We have kids within families with major life challenges and we help them to learn to cope. To work together, to develop tools of resilience so they can be happy and productive in school, and at home, and then go out and be productive members of society.”
Kabler said passion keeps their team going in offering, one-on-one sessions, temporary youth housing, or by partnering with school districts. You can learn more about what CDS Family and Behavioral Health has to offer here.
