"The Trevino family has a daughter who's 9 years old diagnosed with ODD and ADHD. Belinda* came into services because she has presented at school uncooperative, verbally/physically aggressive towards classmates and teachers, and she engaged in fights with her mother to the point where she pulled kitchen knives on her.
LAR reported, 'I am afraid to sleep at night because of Brenda's threats towards me.' Working with Belinda has been refreshing; she has been open to working through skills training, and she looks forward to providing me with a good report of her progress.
Belinda has been on the honor roll for several semesters now, and she is currently passing all classes with at least a B average.
Recently, Belinda had a loss in the family. This brought her much closer to her mother. Although she is grieving, Belinda has not had anger outburst towards her mother. She has been really engaged in school and open regarding her thoughts about her loved one."

"Clara* was referred to Peer Services by her SAI and she has been attending peer groups daily for the past year. She came to group to learn coping skills for her schizophrenia and to socialize with her fellow group members. When I met Clara she was having schizophrenic episodes daily and she was very depressed. Clara was also self-medicating with drugs and alcohol to manage her schizophrenic symptoms. She was very good at interviewing for and getting hired at many different companies, however had difficulty keeping a job. Clara felt very lonely and was close with her family but didn’t have many friends.
The blue skies and shiny green leaves dancing to the rhythm of the friendly summer breeze were the perfect background for the many smiling faces at Bayland Park.
