What Parents are Saying

Susan, mother of a 17 year old teen, Colorado

"Working with Family Front was like having a compass or navigation system to keep us moving in the right direction. Many times, we felt lost and discouraged. And at those times it is like second nature to second guess what you're doing, to think you need to change your plan, to forget what the plan even is. Family Front helped us to remember what our goals were and helped us to refocus."

Donna, mother of 17 year old teen, New Jersey

"Family Front changed everything in our family - in a good way. My confidence as a parent is off the charts. And now I have a chance to parent my other two children differently. I wish I had heard this stuff the day I found out I was pregnant."

Susan, mother of a 17 year old teen, Colorado

"I can't help but feel that two years ago, when [our son] started to slide into the depression, if we would have had this level of coaching then, I think we would have probably avoided having it escalate to the point of having to send [our son] away. We are certainly different parents now than we were back then as a result of your help."

"You have done more for me and my depression than anyone else could have done. This program has saved my life, and hopefully that of my family."

Julie, mother of a 16 year old teen, Utah

"I'm very happy with what we did with Family Front. I don't have regrets about any part of it. In fact, I wish I would have had these tools when our son was in the 6th grade - back when this all started. Had we been doing this instead of just the endless fighting and stuff, it could have changed our whole family dynamic. We all could have forgone a lot of the trauma that we've gone through."

"This has been a great program for me as support when I really needed it most. If I had to do it over again, I would have started with this program before sending my son to wilderness therapy. I feel this program was much more helpful to me. My son has commented that had I put this program in place before he really got out of control, he would have been different. This would be a great program for parents like me who needed support when their child started making bad decisions... Putting a program like this in place at the first sign of trouble would be the best use of money and would give the best support and help for the parents. When a child's away, the home is peaceful. But when they come home it starts all over again. So why not learn how to help your child with him remaining at home and the parent learning how to deal with each situation with help and support from your Family Specialist."

Anna, mother of 17 year old teen, California

"Many of our son's most extreme behaviors are not visible in our home any longer - though we are certainly not out of the woods. Our younger son recently said that even though not all of the behaviors have changed - what has changed is how we respond. He is relieved that things do not escalate in the house and we handle the arguments in a way that does not lead to chaos. That is huge... progress not perfection...."

Donna, mother of 17 year old teen, New Jersey

"When we first started working with Family Front, I had no hope that things would get better, but now I am filled with hope."

Deborah, mother of 16 year old teen, California

"If you would have told me a year ago that I'd be going to work stress free, I'd tell you that you we're crazy. And we have you to thank for our success."
