I am so happy to be a part of their Family Support Network group. Sharing my experiences with others has helped me realize that I am not alone in the problems I face as a parent.
The support Federation of Families has given me has made me feel more connected to other families in my community and more hopeful which has greatly improved the relationship with my child.
