It is the differentiation that Floyd made. These are not necessarily people committed to that lifestyle, but for a variety of reasons, they're involved in it. There's the positive piece for them, in terms of the money, but there's also the violence. I mean, when we talk about the risk and the violence, the youth we work with are victims of that as well. It's a mixture, in terms of that lifestyle. I think that the opportunity to change is not simply related to money. It's related to relationships. It's related to positive feelings.
We talk about trying to intervene at age 10 or 12. Sometimes the opportunity comes at 16 or 18 or 20. Sometimes it's related to a significant influence--the death of a friend, the birth of a baby, a relationship--and they're willing to make the choice at that time. If they have relationships, not with family but with organizations, unfortunately, at this point, they can reach out to them at that point when they're ready.
It's not necessarily competing on a financial basis. It is that relationship. It is that belief in them and pointing out to them the strengths they have and nurturing that piece that then moves them to the point where they can change.
This is maybe more of an answer than you want, but on the concept of how people change, one of the concepts is to build a pile of stones or to tip a balance. You're adding to that with each piece in a positive or negative way. Programs that have contact with people are able to add to that. You're never quite sure when you're going to reach that tipping point or when you're adding that last stone that allows them to have the motivation and the support and the energy to change.
