Action Teen Testimonials:
“ACTION is helping the City of Santa Clarita by teaching us how we can be more
responsible and respecting people. They are helping us by teaching us right from wrong.
My parents are learning the same thing and they learn how to raise us better. I have
stopped using drugs and so have my mom and dad.” 17- year old ACTION Girl.
“ACTION is helping me to do what I need to do to complete my probation. I need 10
signatures/10 weeks attendance that I have gone to some kind drug counseling. ACTION is
really cool because I can get these for free.” ACTION Teen Boy.
“ACTION was a good experience and it has changed me by quitting drugs and choosing
to be sober for life. It is an amazing program, the staff are very encouraging and ACTION
counselors should get a raise.” 18-year old ACTION Girl.
“This program has helped my family in many ways. It has helped us become a more united
family instead of a dysfunctional, pulled apart family. I feel as if my parents are learning
a lot from their program. They have treated me better and learned how to talk to me and
calm me down when I got problems. I think this place is a good place for troubled youth
and troubled family. I high recommend this group to teenagers or families that have
problems. Solutions come from these families.” 17-year old ACTION Boy.”
“I want to thank all of the ACTION program staff. They helped me realize that my life is
worth much more. They helped me become a drug-free person. They helped me become a
better student. I want to thank Counselor Joseph especially. I remember me talking about
my marijuana addiction. He told me “I’m always going to be there for all of you, especially
when you fall. He said that he is going to pick us up and dust our knees off and set us back
on the right road.” That meant a lot to me because it showed me that he is really here to
help every single one of us. I am glad there is a program like ACTION because it really
helped me and I’m pretty sure it helps others.” ACTION Teen Girl.
