Our Stories

Our clients both past and present are at the center of all we do at Crittenton. To hear their stories is to understand just a little of the incredible transformations taking place each day. They reflect life-altering challenges and obstacles that our clients, many of them just adolescent girls, have overcome ranging from trauma, neglect, and addiction, to sexual abuse.
