S.....Johnnie is only 16, but five of his friends have been killed in the past year, and he has spent time at the Marion County Juvenile Detention Center. Our Intercept program, with the help of family specialist Michelle Hairston, stepped in and gave Johnnie the support he needed to express himself and get to the root of his frustrations.
