Most people know Roca for our big-picture outcomes — like 98% of participants staying out of prison after they spend 2 years with us, or 77% learning to handle their emotions. But those numbers don't show the whole picture. Behind every statistic there are a thousand stories. ▶️ WATCH THEM HERE https://hubs.la/Q02Fvnn10
