Portland, OR (PRWEB) June 27, 2013 A group of nine young fathers recently graduated from the Building Successful Families class at the Center for Family Success. Most of the dads, who came to the program through referrals from Parole and Probation or Child Welfare Services, were not living with their children and several did not have any contact with their children when they enrolled in the program. Duane Worley, program facilitator and parenting coach, knows from firsthand experience what these young dads are facing. He had substance abuse problems and lost contact with his son when he was younger. In his words, “I know all too well what it feels like to want to change and not have the resources or someone there saying, ‘Take my hand; let me show you a new way to live.’ That's what these dads need, someone to show them it’s okay to change, it’s okay to challenge old thinking and break the cycle of poor choices, criminality and drug abuse. I’ve seen that these fathers really want to change. They just need the resources and the people to show them how to do it.” Read More. |
