Since working with FSN the families I have recruited to work with have achieved multiple goals. A single mom was able to establish safe housing, employment, and a vehicle. Another family has succeeded in establishing an IEP for their son while dealing with a very difficult school Child Study Team. Another family was able to build healthy boundaries with their mentally ill adult child while helping them find the care they needed. These are just a few of the many positive outcomes from the families I have been blessed to work with. It has been so rewarding to watch families achieve their goals and strengthen their lives.
