The group that we work with is just an absolutely phenomenal group of people where we support each other. We laugh together, we eat lunch together.
Imagine being on the front lines of helping kids who are struggling the most. That's where CJ Harmer and Trish Justis from Pioneer Center's youth program come in. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with CJ and Trish to dive into their work with high-risk kids.

The episode is filled with heartwarming stories and practical advice that can inspire you to take action in your own community. As Trish puts it, 'We support each other.
