This situation in relation to young people is somewhat the same everywhere, perhaps more in your community than elsewhere. The parents have experienced exactly the same thing and they in turn are putting their children through the same situation. There has to be education done from the start, to be able to save these young people.
I would like you to tell us about success stories. You must have some. Successful experiences that would enable you to get more funding. An organization that is able to help people can use those examples to get more funding or recurring funding. In that case, you would not have to spend half your time doing the paperwork to get funding. You could be out on the ground and working with young people.
