Sometimes, all it takes for a child to find a new path forward is the faith of one person. Clinical Supervisor Merry Byers knows from her upbringing, a career in law enforcement and her time at Youth Villages that thousands of young people find themselves on the outskirts of society, susceptible to crime, violence and unthinkable tragedy. But, the intervention of one person can make a world of difference. In this episode of Stronger Than You Think, Byers tells the story of her unconventional path to social work and how her current professional endeavor in intensive in-home services for juvenile court-involved youth is inspired by all of her lived experiences.
