ROBERT BABB, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, has been Clinical Director at PROJECTtouch for 25 years. Our concept is that kids need a place where they feel like they matter. We create that environment for kids to feel safe. Kids, today, are facing many challenges and are so impacted by what peers think of them. In the group, they pull for each other. We feed them, play basketball, card & board games with them and counsel them weekly in the 3 hours that we have them.
