Special  Interest Story

Letter to The Refuge APCC, Two years ago, before coming to The Refuge APCC, our marriage was heading towards divorce, but that’s not the end of the story. With the help, understanding, and skills we learned through the Anger Management Class we attended there, we are now on the right track–  still together and improved.
We are fortunate! I believe if we had not found “The Refuge,” we would
most likely now be divorced. Thank you for the support, help, and knowledge you provided, making us a stronger family, even through our struggles.
Sincerely,  T. Lopez
