Who we are

At Mentionable Means Manageable Youth Advocacy, we believe that no child is broken, just going through challenges that require guidance and care. We are committed to providing at-risk youth with the tools they need to heal, grow, and succeed through school programs, community outreach, and family support. By fostering a sense of community, we help teens realize they are part of something greater than themselves, which promotes personal growth and emotional well-being.

Matt Lazansky

Counselor, Student Assistance Program

I was 14 years old when I first was first introduced to Jacy. At the time I was heavily addicted to substances. I was daily user of marijuana, alcohol, and prescription pills. My experience with Jacy was nothing short of life changing. I immediately felt welcomed, safe, and loved. Through Jacy my life has made a dramatic change for the better. Via her guidance I've been sober since April 7th 2018, and have remained sober to this day. Staying sober however is only one of the gifts brought forth in my life by Jacy. Today I truly live a life that I never thought possible at 14 years old. I've gone to college, kept a steady job, bought a car, mended relationships with family and friends, and live as a productive member of society. All of these things and more were only made possible through Jacy's guidance.

Jacy has helped me through hard times and taught me how to get through hard times the right way. She is always there for me and has helped my family as well. She runs a fun but structured group, teaching everyone something about themselves, whether they like it or not.
