Hope and Support for Every Family

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.

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

Family SkillBuilders Specialists that I’ve worked with have been easy to engage with, both for me and the client. Good listeners, keen observation and critical thinking skills. I’ve been very impressed with FSB’s ability to assess safety and family functioning WHILE considering the family’s circumstances/culture, etc. FSB Specialists have been very solution-oriented, non-judgmental, compassionate, and down to earth. I feel very confident referring to Family SkillBuilders – LOVE your program!

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.

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.

“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.”

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

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 (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 figured now was the time to set a goal of breaking cycles and not feeling ashamed for asking for help. I knew what kind of mom I had been, and I just knew—that is not the mom I wanted to continue being.
