One child, one parent, one family at a time...

"I had been using meth several times a day for three years and it was destroying my life and my family. After losing my son and self-worth, I realized I needed serious help, and entered the House of Hope's Women and Children's Program. Although terrified, I was ready to change. As I began learning new coping and parenting skills, I was reunited with my three-year old son. While I was in treatment, my son attended the Hope Center for Children, where he learned to behave appropriately and how to express his feelings. Since we were getting help together, he was able to learn to trust me and feel safe. I attended parenting classes and worked at the Hope Center to practice positive guidance techniques. After I completed residential treatment, I set up a healthy home for us and continued in day treatment. My motivation increased as I saw the positive effects that the Hope Center was having on my son. I now have 2 sons and a new life. I am grateful for the opportunity that my family had to grow and change together at the Hope Center for Children."
