The Spectrum shelter helped me out so much. It led to so many other things. Spectrum worked with me to get a stable place to live. They helped me find a job. I got my GED. Without Spectrum, I don't know where I would be today. They saved my life and helped me open my eyes and realize how much was out there for me. -Denise, 19 year old

"Before coming to Spectrum, I constantly got wrapped up in my head with problems that never allowed me to reach my goals and I turned to drugs to cope. Spectrum counseling helped me to build skills to pull myself out of my issues and I am now successfully holding a job, moving into my own apartment, and can deal with new and unexpected situations without feeling held hostage by my emotions and drugs."
