Foster Parents Sharing Their Experience with You

Is This Common in Your Home?

Paul and Jill understand your challenges
Are you looking for peace in your family?

Is your home controlled by an adolescent?

Do you love your child but are at your wits end?

Are you seeing signs of trouble and want to "nip it in the bud"?



The Families Helping Families Program provides needed counsel and advocacy for parents who desire help from exerienced foster care parents. If you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, we can offer you helpful advice based on years of practical experience. We can help you avoid common mistakes in parenting and give you practical methods for handling trouble before it starts.

We offer:
A. One-on-One with Parents
B. Two Seminars:

  • Early Childhood Parenting
  • Setting Limits for Your Teens

For any of the perceived needs listed above, contact us and we will be happy to set up an appointment with you.

In Christ's Service for the Community,

Can Anything Be Done with My Teen?

Yes. But it requires faithful action. There is a promise in the Bible that has encouraged many a family in crisis:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

This promise was given after God's people had gone astray. Times were going to be tough, but they were also going to get better.
