As a young teen, Justice was arrested and found himself facing a serious criminal accusation and possible jail time. His judge referred him to The Foundling’s juvenile justice program, and the intensive counseling and support he and his family received from his therapist, Stephanie, helped him to avoid a criminal record and get back on the path to success.

Edward and his son Malik consider their therapist Catie a member of their family. As a youth, Malik was lost in the juvenile justice system and Catie helped get him on the right track. When Malik graduated high school, he proudly texted a picture of himself and his diploma to Catie.
