Mentors can make a big difference to young women

Just over a year ago, Hillside Children's Center in Auburn opened the doors on the Gaining Resiliency through Overall Wellness (GROW) program to offer new hope to female victims of severe trauma. Since the first day, the program and our staff have helped young women ages 12 to 18 from all over Central New York address their trauma symptoms and shift their identity to being a survivor, rather than a victim, of trauma.
