"Thank you for all the help and support you have given our family. With the strength and courage you gave us, we were able to remain strong and pull through this ordeal. Our son has grown into a beautiful young man, exactly how we wanted him to be, although we never thought he could do it. He has proven himself to us and society. What a caring, loving person he has become! Thank you, you are always in our prayers and thoughts."Intensive Support and Supervision Program (ISSP) is an alternative to custody program specifically designed for youth (12 to 18 years of age) whose significant mental health issues would be better addressed and the youth and family supported in a familiar home and community setting; rather than in custody.
