Jake came to the Club with high expectations of himself. He was an excellent student, successful athlete, and student government president. While his achievements were outstanding, his success caused him to place unrealistically high expectations on himself. As the pressure grew, his mental health suffered. After many conversations with his Club Director, and a continuous sense of security at Club, Jake gained the confidence he needed to be honest with himself, his parents, and his doctors about his mental state. Jake says, Thanks to Boys & Girls Club, I could be truthful to myself and others about what I was experiencing. At that moment, I began my journey to personal growth. I finally felt grounded.
