We are seeing a lot of kids who are unwilling to walk into a school building, afraid to get their driver's license.
The things that we looked forward to and felt like were a part of life growing up, they are hesitant and feel incapable.
really everything we all need help with.
Kids who are struggling socially, kids who are anxious, kids who are depressed, kids with ADHD, kids whose parents are getting divorced, have lost someone in their family.

I don't go to Daystar for counseling.
I just go there to talk about my problems.
It feels like such a privilege to get to come alongside kids and families in that way.
