thank you Stanford for taking care of the kids who may have been the product of amazing medical technologies for survival in utero, as newborns, or young infants. It would be interesting to see how many of the older children or adolescents in crisis were premies or high risk pregnancies, who were exposed to incredible stressors early on, and who may lack in coping skills to weather day to day life in the "wilds" of the surrounding communities.

I hope that they will work in collaboration with the existing programs like STAR VISTA and the new program SafeSpace. This will help avoid duplication and make the services stronger!
