Support Vantage

Dear Friend,

Hope. A small word with a world of meaning. One of the few "four" letter words that still turns heads when spoken out loud.

Every day, Vantage Health System provides services to children, adolescents, and adults seeking treatment and assistance with mental health, addiction, developmental disabilities, and eldercare issues. Each day there are more people to help. Vantage Health System serves individuals and families, in 25 Northern New Jersey towns, that are being hit with unprecedented job losses, home foreclosures, and daily struggles to "get through the day."

Our job is getting tougher and tougher.

We think to ourselves – can we help all of these people?

With your continued support we can!!

Your commitment helps change the lives of young people like "Anthony," just wait until you read how Vantage has saved and changed his life. Without your help, "Anthony’s" story might not be one of success.

During this time of year, we would like to give a special, inspirational gift to you… "Anthony’s" story. Please share in our pride, as you are as much a part of our success.

With your support, we will bring this powerful message of hope to more of our friends and neighbors. Thank you for your commitment to our future. Have a happy and healthy New Year!

"Anthony's Story"

We were a "regular family" or so we thought. We would like to tell this story to be one of hope for any family going through the difficulties of raising a child with substance abuse issues. As a parent, we are given a job that there is no manual for, and it is the most difficult of jobs under ideal conditions, and compounded tenfold when you notice these problems. What we have learned in the years of handling this problem could fill a journal, but more importantly, we learned we were not alone. There was hope and people to work with who understood what we were going through.

Our story starts when "Anthony" was about 14 years old, the youngest of four children. From an early age, "Anthony" struggled with school academically, but very few problems with discipline. He made friends easily and generally held on to them for a time.
