A Mother’s Story of Recovery

October 13, 2020 by Stasia

“When I came to Family Services, I was pregnant, addicted to drugs, and wanted a better life for myself and my baby that was coming.  I attended Doug’s “Intensive Outpatient” group and weekly appointments with my therapist Kaitlyn.  I completed intensive outpatient, dropped down to “Outpatient”, and then joined the “Helping Women Recover” group. The HWR group with Shannon was a safe place for me to connect, relate to other women, and feel safe. HWR group taught me even more coping skills and I knew that I was not alone. I have been working with Kelly in case management and setting goals for myself, such as having a drug-free birth, getting safe and affordable housing, a vehicle, employment, and studying for my GED.  I had a drug-free birth, and my daughter is a healthy and happy baby. I have my daughter with me, my own apartment, a reliable vehicle, starting to study for my GED, and I have an amazing support system with FSCA, SOAR, and the recovering community. Even the front staff is very supportive, I love me some Tami. I can call and talk to anyone when I have problems, and they are always really supportive. Because of the education and support, I will have a year of recovery on October 12, 2020. Family Services is amazing and love them.” Rachel

BREAKOUT HAS GOTTEN OFF TO A GREAT START THIS YEAR IN JACKSON COUNTY SCHOOLS!

November 8, 2022 by Stasia Leave a Comment

Breakout is FSCA’s drug prevention education program for teens. They provide classroom teaching in Jackson County high schools and middle schools. Go to our web page Community and Youth Programs (strong-families.org) for details about the program. Here is a message from Ms. Shelly one of our instructors:

Breakout has provided services, already this year, in six different school districts around the county.  There has been a total of 160 classroom presentations for 273 students in grades 6th through 9th .   Changes to this year’s program include adding an economics lesson to the high school classes and a goal setting lesson in the middle school.  The response has been very positive from the students and teachers.
