This is how our work impacted their lives.

    I (Family Support Specialist) encouraged mom to accept any progress as progress. With her support, her teenage son gradually sorted through his emotional struggles, and their trust grew.

    I called Family SkillBuilders again for more support when I felt overwhelmed. Once again, we were blessed—our Family Support Specialist provided so much information about my son’s diagnosis and reminded me that anything is possible.

    The Oregon CASA’s are always so glad when a Family SkillBuilder is on the case.

    Thank you for your prompt attention to my request yesterday! One of your Specialists was able to meet with the family yesterday afternoon (which is amazing!) and they were in love with her before I even got there to finalize the initial plan. Not only did the family get the support they needed right away and did this ensure I was able to keep the kids in the home, but it made the conversation about what things will look like in the future and court involvement SO much easier when the family had a tangible experience to show how the agency will be supporting and intervening.

    Their Family Support Specialist came into my life without any judgment. She listened to me, validated me, and even understood when I said, ‘I don’t know how to be a mom, and she’s my 3rd child.’ She taught me forgiveness, integrity, compassion, accountability, and guidance.

    I can’t tell you how much I always appreciate working with all of the Family SkillBuilders! I always tell families that I wish I could have a Family SkillBuilder at my house and it is SO true! Everyone is beyond fabulous and willing to do whatever is necessary to meet families where they are at in their process. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your quick response yesterday but also all you do every day!

    I advocate and encourage families to refer themselves to Family SkillBuilders. It’s such a powerful experience, and it’s okay to ask for help before becoming so overwhelmed.

    Parent

    Family SkillBuilders provided her with new parenting tools, not just to manage her sons’ behavior, but to empathize with their emotional injuries.

    Community Partner

    As a single mother of 4, I can say that because of Family SkillBuilders helping and guiding me on my journey, my kids have been back home for 10 years after foster care. Now, I am a full-time college student alongside my oldest daughter, and we’re both pursuing social work.

    Parent

    I worked with a Specialist who was really amazing on a complex case. I always got reports and updates from the Specialist in a timely manner. I wish FSB was on referral more often because your ISRS services are great for families.
