Success Stories
Alicia
Alicia had been referred to FIRC’s Families United program by a friend who saw that Alicia’s bitter divorce was causing her to have trouble connecting with her daughter and that she could potentially become neglectful.Alicia did well with the home visit provided by a FIRC parent educator and began to understand important aspects of being a parent and how her daughter was developing. Still, the divorce had a large effect on her and the parent educator noticed Alicia beginning to have trouble in their sessions and quickly recognized the signs of depression. Looking toward the other resources available at FIRC the parent educator was able to get a grant for Alicia to receive therapy and address the depression.
Through the therapy session and continuous support from the FIRC Families United program, Alicia has become happier is able to really enjoy time with her daughter.
