Why people love us
Please read below to see what a few of our clients have to say about us.
Congrats! You're doing life saving work
I will always be grateful that you helped with my son...and guess what, he graduates this May from high school (back to straight As!) and off to Alaska for a summer of work & adventure before moving on to EMT training. Many thanks for what you do.
Thank you very much,
I was referred to you by Douglas Bodin and I would like to thank you for your help escorting my son to Utah. We had a very small window of opportunity and your organization made arrangements and coordinated everything in just a couple of hours. I put my trust in you and you did not disappoint, in fact you exceeded my expectation with your professionalism and support. You met my son while he was very vulnerable and scared and you helped to ease his tension and fear by treating him with dignity, compassion and respect. I am appreciative and extremely grateful for your contribution to our family and to all families in crises.
Thank you!
Willie Lopez was a tremendous help in my stepson's recovery. He enabled us to resume a family life again. With Willie's professional help and constant support, my stepson is now a responsible individual, thriving in the main stream of society
Positive experience.
You have provided us with many urgently needed resources to support our Zach; none proved to be more important to me than your recommendation to contact Adolescent Guidance Services. At a time of great emotional pressure and distress for me, Victor Lopez of AGS performed with extraordinary competence and sensitivity. As you know, the logistics of moving Zach out of our home last Saturday morning were complicated, and I felt that the stakes involved in getting this right were very high. Victor’s patience, calmness, and flexibility went far beyond what I expected. He listened; he advised; he delivered on everything that our family needed. He promised that he would treat my son as if he were his son. He made good on that promise.
Amazing Team
In this time of diminishing resources, it's important to have services like AGS. I was very impressed with their non-violent crisis intervention and the flexibility they provide. I felt confident that my client received the most professional, supportive intervention during such traumatic crisis. I highly recommend AGS to any families or professional agencies that need smooth transaction
