Where Are They Now? Kiwan Jones, Optimist Alumni
Kiwan was admitted to Optimist Youth Homes and Family
Services in 2013. He struggled with following directions
from his mother, was charged with burglary and sent to
Optimist. Here is Kiwan’s story in his own words:
“At first, it was difficult to be at Optimist. I had to learn how
to communicate with people I didn’t know and didn’t want
to be around. I had always dealt with frustration by leaving
and finding a place of peace by myself away from people. Coming to Optimist was
not that bad, but I found the groups annoying. I had a cool therapist, Nenette, and the
staff was nice as well. They helped me a lot.
