5 years ago I was "sent away" to Anasazi. As a 15 year old with a traumatic history, I had been through just about every type of therapy my family could find. I was doing drugs, running away, and blinded by a severely abusive relationship. I had no idea what my parents had signed me up for when we made the 2 hour drive to Mesa. I had no real expectations for what this program had in store for me. Week after week, and battle after battle, the Trailwalkers and every other support through Anasazi broke apart my hurt and taught me how to love myself again. How to love my family. Anasazi helped build an entire moral grounding for myself. Through the years I've lost myself in the chaos of life but I always can reach back to that final week on the trail.. and always ground myself once again. Anasazi gave me the internal structure I need to be who I am, and I am endlessly grateful for the life lessons they taught me. I'm now a sober, fully functioning, 21 year old in the career field of my dreams when I couldn't even see a future back then. Thank you Anasazi
