Welcome


 "My name is Renee F. and I was at David & Margaret in 1989. When I was placed there I was angry, fought with everyone, and my sister had just died. I was in Lowery Cottage. I am still in contact with staff there, appreciate all they did for me, and someday I am going to write a book for young girls on how to overcome problems. I am 34 years old, happily married and the mother of four children. I am just starting school to become a Psychiatric Technician so I can help people the way I was helped."

Welcome to David & Margaret Youth and Family Services located in La Verne, California.
