[consider including a statistic or factoid about this topic]We asked: "provide question here?".
“The services in place weren't addressing my issue specifically. Things I said in confidence were repeated in family therapy, which made things worse. I felt like I had no one.”
- Kayla Bailey, Foster Alumni from Nebraska
"I believe intentional conversations explaining how necessary mental health services were for my
parents to keep their children should have resulted in a different story for my family. Maybe my dad would be alive, and maybe my mother wouldn't still be an addict."
- Brian Morgantini, Foster
Alumni from Pennsylvania
Having access to Mental Health Care services saved our sanity and our family."
- Joan Dingle, Kinship Caregiver from Oregon
I firmly believe mental health
services would have helped my mom and helped me
figure out how to support her. As African Americans,
I think it’s backwards that we don’t talk about mental
health issues or admit to challenges until something
bad has happened.”
- Ramond Nelson, Foster Alumni from Pennsylvania
