Can You Relate?

Troubled teen girls struggling with depression find lots of company at FFS, and lots of help.  One newcomer who had always isolated herself during her depressive episodes, found out quickly that the days here are too structured to give her time alone.  She also discovered that two girls in her FFS family had similar stories to tell---about depression, isolation, and how they ended up being grateful for their daily routine.  "I still get depressed," one of them told her, "but I've learned to talk about it.  That was a big step for me.  Making friends here who honestly knew what I was going through made all the difference."
