Staff Spotlight: William Porter
Role: Therapist
Years at SJCH: 4 years
William has been a therapist at Saint Joseph’s Children’s Home for four years, helping youth navigate challenges and build hope for the future. When asked what reminds him why he does this work, he shared that it’s hearing from former clients who reach out to say they’re doing well, that they’re happy. Knowing they’ve found success beyond their time at Saint Joseph’s is what makes this work so meaningful to him.

As a recovery warrior myself, I believe that despair, difficult circumstances, and abuse are not a life sentence — anyone can recover, and at Saint Joseph’s, proof of that recovery can be seen every day when you look closely enough.
