Nicolas: age 10
A victim of severe child abuse, Nicolas suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. He is angry, prone to outbursts and suicidal at times. In another time or place, Nicolas would be a typical rambunctious boy. Once in a while when his anxiety fades, there is a glimpse of Nicolas' wonderful sense of humor. While living in one of our group homes on campus, Nicolas receives the counseling needed to overcome his feelings of anxiety. His family teachers teach him behavior skills and ways to manage his emotions. But most importantly, Nicolas experiences a loving, caring family environment.
Now living in one of our foster care homes, Nicolas is being considered by several adoptive families. He is happy and is no longer struggling with anger outbursts and stress.
