James Cobbs found his way to Front Steps after suffering a deep-rooted substance abuse & mental health diagnoses, after a stint in the military. This resulted in angry outbursts, isolation, and related behavioral health issues. He became an overwhelming burden to himself and his family. After arriving at Front Steps, James discovered his voice and self-expression through his counseling with Life Skills coordinator Denise Jackson. Today, still overcoming personal barriers, he’s an example for others and exhibits pride and self-assurance through his work in our community garden.
