Wilcox knew that both she and her son needed more support, and worked with the mentorship program Big Brothers Big Sisters to get Evan a mentor. Evan was matched with a freshman at MIT, Nick, who provided emotional support and a source of fun, Wilcox says. Ten years later, Evan and Nick still have a close relationship, which, in conjunction with other strong relationships he had with his mother and math teachers, likely &#8220;helped protect him from depression and other mental health&#8221; problems.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>To read the full article, and see pictures of Evan and Nick from 2011 and 2019, <a
