We often hear, 'You've got your hands full!' or 'I could never do that'. Fostering 4 children under the age of 4, yes, our hands ARE full. But you know what? We do not have super powers... Everyone has something to give.

Arden Shore never gave up on me. Today I am healthy and I have my son back at home. For that, I am extremely grateful.

[Intact Family Preservation Services] have made me a better dad and brought me closer to my daughters in a way I never knew possible. Arden Shore’s Intact staff have been a big support and encouraged me not to give up.

Interning as a behavioral health therapist allowed me to work closely with families facing challenges and give back to the community. This experience opened my eyes to the high demand of services in the community and helped me realize the importance of advocating for more funding, specifically for mental health services for families in need.

Thank you for being a part of my son's and my life. Thank you for the eye-opening experiences and thank you for helping me change for the good.
