Teens like Roger.
Roger had been struggling with mental illness and aggressive behavior since he was 13 years old. By 16, he was consumed with anger, hitting his family members and destroying property. At UMFS, Roger received the therapy and support he so desperately needed.
Roger shared how much UMFS has impacted his life:
“I didn’t know what I was doing back then, but I know exactly what I’m doing now. I’m getting my life straight. Without UMFS, I’d probably be locked up.”

From Foster Care to College Campus
Melvin was walking briskly along one of the many shaded and brick-lined paths on Old Dominion University’s campus in downtown Norfolk when it dawned on him. “Wait, what’s today’s date,” he asked as he came to an abrupt halt in his linen-white sneakers.
