Jonathan, 17 years old, CA

Due to parental involvement in domestic violence, Jonathan was brought to this facility during a time when he struggled with limited engagement and had difficulty finding meaningful outlets. He reported that he often stayed in his room, listening to his parents argue during these incidents. Jonathan finds it challenging to make friends; forming connections feels frightening to him, and maintaining interactions has been difficult. Despite these barriers, one clear source of motivation for him consistently emerges: video games.
