At just 11, Adam’s early years had been marked by separation and uncertainty—with his mother caught in addiction and his father involved in the justice system. Foster care became his reality, but in March 2024, Adam entered YBGR’s school-based services in Missoula—and things began to shift.
“When Adam started with us, he was anxious, withdrawn, and afraid the people he cared about would leave,” shares Jill Brischli, Administrative Supervisor. “He had panic attacks, nightmares, and struggled to trust. But over time, we’ve seen him begin to heal.”
Today, Adam lives with his dad, sister, and beloved cat. Since being reunified in June, he’s graduated from school-based services. His anxiety has eased. So have his behaviors.
YBGR will continue walking alongside Adam and his family through case management services—building a foundation of stability for continued healing and resilience.
