My brother is still living in Scottsdale, Arizona and moved to his own apartment a few weeks ago while still attending programming at Anew Treatment Center where he has been a resident since last Spring. He has been working consistently since this past August and likes his job. Yesterday, I am thrilled to share, was a most major milestone: my brother had his graduation ceremony from Anew. It was incredibly heartwarming to hear (on Zoom) all of the marvelous things his former housemates and therapists had to say about their experience getting to know my brother.
My sister and I could not have gotten him the help he needed without each and every one of you supporting and guiding us, and especially him, along the way. Like all of us, he still has many mountains to climb but this is the most encouraging step, and we are so incredibly proud of him. Every human being deserves to live with dignity, and we have saved another man from the fate of homelessness. Thank you for helping us help him help himself. He continues to do the work and we are so inspired.
As a village, we have not only helped my brother, but as his kids said yesterday, “we have our Dad back" and that is no small feat. Thank you for everything you have done for my brother and his family directly and indirectly.

I knew immediately that the treatment program Karlyn Pleasants and Kerry Paulson developed in San Diego was right for my sister. For the first time in her life, Robyn was accepted by a large group and quickly made new friends. I think her new sense of community set the stage for success, as did the scheduling and guidelines that provided boundaries for her.
The program helped me, too. For the first time in years, I was able have a relationship with my sister that wasn’t based on me rescuing her or lecturing her. She was always full of excitement about what was going on in the Hanbleceya community, her new friends, and the outings they went on.
I am particularly grateful to her therapist Megan Harrison. Robyn loved and trusted her, and when the time for family therapy came, I soon learned why. Megan has a truly wonderful gift for hearing and helping people, and she shared helpful hands-on tools for personal growth. In fact, the team that’s moving to Scottsdale from San Diego all contributed in a meaningful way to Robyn’s recovery and growth. My hope is that the families and friends of people in the Scottsdale program are able to finally take a deep breath and relax like I did, and that their loved one blossoms and grows as Robyn did.

In the depths of our despair (this was our second son to have become psychotic at 15 years old) we came across Hanbleceya Treatment Center in San Diego and started our conversations with Kerry about what Hanbleceya had to offer. It was here in their program that my husband and I found real hope for our son, Marc, as it offered a firm but loving and structured program that was exactly what we needed to help him heal. In exchange for hard work, well-defined expectations and accountability we got our son’s life back. Our family is eternally grateful to Kerry and Karlyn and their program that changed all of our lives for the better. We were so thrilled to learn they are bringing this wonderful facility to the Scottsdale area!

Thank God for Hanbleceya! Their wonderful program gave me my child back. Its hard to believe my kid is now working for a reputable company making a six-figure salary. I am so grateful for the program that Karlyn Pleasants and Kerry Paulson created and want to give an emphatic recommendation to all of you out there looking for a treatment center in Arizona. I’m certain that if Karlyn and Kerry are involved, that it will be a great program. Thank you!
