How successful is STARRY in preventing further at-risk behavior?
Follow up inquiries by staff to families served and unsolicited phone calls and letters from these families indicate a high success rate in helping resolve conflict and helping children cope with issues causing destructive behaviors. The best indicator of success is the dramatic transformation that occurs in young lives. Time and time again, we see fragile children numb to the world around them due to the abuse and neglect who are transformed into healthy, happy children through the love and concern expressed by Shelter staff.
