Hope and Support for Every Family

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.

She worked hard to break out of a generational pattern of poverty, criminality, and addiction. She knew recovery was more than just choosing not to use—it meant changing the way one thinks, processes emotions, and relates to others.

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.

I make all my referrals to their program for parent training and support due to the fact that they are professional, easy to work with and culturally appropriate.

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

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!

Through patience and guidance, the Family Support Specialist helped mom reconnect emotionally with her sons. As their trust grew, so did the family’s ability to heal and move forward together.

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

I just love Family SkillBuilders, out of all the services I do this one has taught me the most

“Program staff provide a safe space, they communicate well, and I know my children are heard, understood, and their best interests are first and foremost.”
