YES is a Lifeline for All | Youth Spotlight

Christiana's journey with Youth Emergency Services (YES) is one of resilience and hope. After fleeing an abusive relationship, she found herself in a hotel with her infant daughter. Referral to Youth Emergency Services (YES) marked a turning point in her life. Initially fearful, Christiana embraced YES' Maternity Group Home program, which empowered her to build a stable life.

Now a mother of two, Christiana has secured a full-time job, moved into her own apartment, and is focused on a promising future for her family. Despite enduring abuse since childhood, she remains determined to break the cycle and raise her daughters with love. YES equipped her with crucial life skills and support, fostering independence and strength.

Grateful for the transformative impact of YES, Christiana emphasizes its role as a lifeline for those in need. She encourages others to seek help without fear, knowing that YES offers safety, guidance, and resources for a brighter tomorrow.
