The young individuals who benefit from the organization were also present, sharing stories of how the Hetrick-Martin Institute has helped them after being bullied out of school, and often times even kicked out of their own homes. The institution serves as a safe haven for the vulnerable, offering them a place to feel comfortable with themselves and shed the fear and intimidation they feel elsewhere.
