"Children's Services took my two children and said I'd lose custody of the child I was pregnant with if I didn't quit using drugs. The counselors at Janus taught me to care. Without Janus' help we wouldn't be a family; I wouldn't have hope."
--   Maureen (29), mother of three and student at Cabrillo
