Review for Family Care Network, Inc., San Luis Obispo, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My family received WRAP services for approximately two years due to our sons severe emotional needs. He had constant rages, self harming behaviors (cutting and burning himself) and the whole family was in a state of crisis on a daily basis. FCNI came in and helped us as a family to restore some normalcy in our home. Our son is still living with us and there are still issues that come up from time to time but we are able to communicate appropriately and he's a great young man.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

watching families graduate from WRAP and being able to access the community resources that will help them to continue to be successful. To see a torn apart family, become whole again. For family members to be able to live together in a safe environment.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I wouldn't even attempt to. The man and his board that do, have done an amazing job of having the same vision and wanting to help the most needy children.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the dedication that they have towards all of the families they serve and to all of their employees. A motto that I have heard a lot is that they have never met a family that couldn't be helped, everyone has strengths, we need to build on what they have.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

very well trained and professional at all times. They are very skilled in working with the most difficult children and are truly passionate in

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

save so many children from lives of moving from foster home to group home to juvenile hall. It would help keep well trained and caring staff from leaving. FCNI to have a Charter school so children could have a safe and caring environment to learn in.

Ways to make it better...

I had a Family Partner to understand that we were not alone in this and that there is hope. The engagement phase of wrap, the trusting phase, would have happened quicker. FCNI now employees Family Partners and has for the last 4 1/2 years.

One thing I'd also say is that...

"have I said what a GREAT place this is to work and how lucky our families that we serve have such caring and trained personnel".

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Client Served & Once I was a family member, now I am employed at FCNI as a Family Partner, sharing my experiences to other families and giving them hope.
