Help, Hope, Healing

“It (AMP) helps me do things that I never knew I could”

“My child had made threats to burn down our home, was physical to others in the home, was defiant, had failing grades, could not be trusted, and made threats to run away. He was placed on informal probation for fighting, refused to take responsibility for his actions, and blamed others for his negative behaviors. After five months of service, she has improved over 90% in all of his negative behaviors. He has gained our trust back, is looking for a job, attends church every Sunday, involved in music at school, making passing grades, and plans on playing football next school year”

“Our child is now doing very well with controlling or turning around his meltdowns. I have increased my parenting skills and have been more patient, yelling/threatening to take things away less when he misbehaves, and have begun trying new ways to get him talking”

“People care about us”

“This letter is to speak about the services my family and I have been receiving through the BIS program provided by Young House Family Services. I would like to talk specifically about the wonderful experience we have had with our caseworker. I struggle to put into words exactly what her counseling and support have meant to our family because nothing I can say seems like enough. She has been an absolute godsend. She has been there during some of the roughest times with our daughter. She has spoken to me at odd hours of the night, on weekends and any other time I have needed her. She has shown us different ways of dealing with our thoughts and feelings and has made us take a step back about the way we have been parenting our daughter. While our journey is nowhere near over, we know that with Young House’s help, we will get there. I feel like we have made great progress so far”
