Her older son had already graduated, and she wanted both her young-adult children to find fulfillment and success after leaving home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Before Climb, Shanna struggled for years with anxiety that kept her from maintaining stable employment while raising a family on her own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Climb\u2019s mental health provider helped Shanna experiment with new ways to overcome this barrier. \u201cIt sounds crazy,\u201d Shanna says, \u201cbut we figured out that if I put a little bit of dirt in my pocket to touch when I froze up taking tests or practicing for job interviews, it would settle my nerves.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><span class=\"color-gold\">\u201cAll I want is for my mom to be happy.

She just started beaming. Climb gave her hope. You could tell that she felt happier and more supported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">After Climb, Shanna decided to pursue a career with the City of Rock Springs, where she now works for the Housing Authority and has benefits like health insurance, paid sick leave, and a retirement plan for the first time in her life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cShe loves her job,\u201d says Morgan. \u201cI\u2019ve worried about my mom a lot, and it\u2019s good to see her on her feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Likewise, Shanna is very proud of Morgan, who is now 19 and happily living on her own and working toward becoming an Ultrasound Technician through Laramie County Community College\u2019s sonography program. Morgan\u2019s brother is also thriving in a career in the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cAll I want is for my mom to be happy,\u201d Morgan says. \u201cShe didn\u2019t always have a job growing up, or feel very hopeful about her life.
