"Kevin started at the Academy at Swift River as a 15 year old in 2002. He was depressed, suicidal, and dependent on marijuana. He graduated with Peer Group 31 in Oct 2003. I always think of ASR when we have good news and this is great: Kevin was accepted at dental school and will begin classes this Sept. What a remarkable come-back. Kevin graduated from college in May 2008 with a BA in Psychology. He has been taking science prerequisites for dental school for the past year and a half. We are so grateful for the experience he had at ASR. Thank you! "
