Story

Nathan Nelson (pictured above) graduated from Albany High School in June 2019. It was a milestone his family wasn't sure was possible his freshman year. "If we had not found Kerr, I would have probably ended up in juvenile detention," Nathan said. "I've gone from a depressed person to a changed, healthy, mature young man."

Kerr's team approach provided the Nelson family with wrap-around services. "They didn't just stabilize him and send him back into the world, instead they came up with a plan and we started to feel a sense of hope," said his mother, Kristie Nelson.

Video (below): By the age of 5, Mack Beatty was dually diagnosed with ADHD and autism. "Before coming to Kerr, there wasn't anyone to teach me skills for life," he said. "Kerr was life-changing for me."
