Jessie

Folks, we have a budding football star in our midst here! Meet our friend Jessie. He loves playing football. It gives him a sense of pride and self-worth. In fact, he loves being active in any way and really prefers playing outside over sitting around inside. These things give Jessie a way to channel his boundless energy in a healthy, safe way. You see, Jessie struggles with aggression at times and just generally doesn’t make the smartest decisions when he gets angry or upset about something. But coping skills are learned behaviors, right? We all have the ability to learn better ways to respond to negative situations, and Jessie is no different. He’s aware of his behaviors and is working super hard to improve his decision-making and responses to getting upset. You should see his progress! He’s making great strides, but he needs a family to help him keep moving ahead. Jessie needs a two-parent family committed to loving and supporting him with patience, structure, and consistency. Jessie is a great kid – full of life and joy and hope – and he’s capable of achieving incredible things in life in the right environment. If you’d like to know more about what makes our buddy Jessie tick, just ask!
