Testimonials

by Holly, Tic Toc Parent

I think this TIC TOC group has been a beautiful experience. I wish that I had learned of this program BEFORE tragedy struck in my family. I would recommend that everyone who has children attend the 12 weeks of this program to learn the red flags just in case it is happening to your family members.

This program is heaven sent. God bless everyone who donates to this program.

I am writing to express my appreciation for the great job Gail (VISITS Coordinator) is doing. My two boys have supervised visitation with their father every week. I am so thankful for the Family Nurturing Center. Thanks to all of you at Family Nurturing Center for making an unpleasant situation pleasant.

Thomas R Willenborg, Attorney at Law

I think that the court system where I work in Boone County and Kenton County would be lost without the service that VISITS provides. There is no other facility in our community that is provided this needed service. In each instance where I have been involved with the use of the VISITS program, the services have been highly professional, feasibly priced for the families and wonderful.

Tracie, Nurturing Parent Participant

We were fortunate to discover Family Nurturing Center when our first child was an infant. The birth - three class saw us through biting incidents, temper tantrums and power struggles while forming the basis for a consistent approach to the day to day parenting challenges.

Four years later our second child benefits from that same foundation of nurturing principles as we continue to stay connected with the nurturing philosophy through the "Nurturing II Aftercare" Program.

Ed Connor, Psy. D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist

As a clinical psychologist who frequently conducts child custody evaluations, visitation evaluation and assessments of adult and juvenile male sex offenders, I find the Family Nurturing Center's service to this community to be of the utmost importance for the children and families they service. Their primary goal is to protect and advocate for the psychological well-being of children.

Kim Wolfe, Ph.D., MSN, BCCH, ARNP

The Family Nurturing Center does a wonderful job providing services to individuals and their families.. The Tic Toc group and the VISITS program are two of the most frequent referrals that our office suggests to clients and to the courts.

The professional approach, ease of service access, clearly defined programs and focus upon children has been refreshing and has earned the respect of the professionals and clients in the community.

The CAMPS program was my first real experience where dedicated, bright people really wanted to help unselfishly. Does this program really work? The answer is a resounding YES. It brought respect and manners to a teenager who once could not respect her stepfather. CAMPS brought understanding to a stepfather who could not relate to his stepdaughter.

Out of sight, not out of mind. We've been thinking about each of you and because of you, we are a better family. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such a loving way.

Krista Menne, Cabinet for Families and Children

The Family Nurturing Center has been an excellent resource for the families we serve. They truly believe in a collaborative effort and hae demonstrated on numerous occasions their willingness to work with the Cabinet for Families and Children on specific cases and on community based endeavors.

Rachel B., Tic Toc Parent

Last week I was sitting at my dining room table looking at my calendar. I realized that there was only a couple of weeks left of TIC TOC. I am not embarrassed to say that tears came to my eyes. This group has been the only thing I have had for support. There have been several times when I felt like I could not get through another day and then I would tell myself that TIC TOC is only a few days away.

Nancy House, Director of Children's Services (former) Redwood Rehabilitation Center

Family Nurturing Center provided excellent training in "Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect" for Redwood's Therapeutic Child Care staff.

After twenty years in childcare I found FNC's in-service to be the most in-depth, thought-provoking and poignant discussion of child abuse issues I've heard. FNC's presenters make a difference in the way staff members view and respond to the needs of others.

Deborah Frederick M.Ed., LPC, CCDC1

After I received my Masters degree in Counseling in 1993, I became a NPP facilitator. I had been a single parent of two daughters for many years. The changes that I made as a parent during that time were phenomenal and really provided a framework which exists 11 years later!

Child Abuse Treatment Services Testimonial from Parent

“My child was totally against coming, but from the second meeting she was talking openly and willing. I feel you give hope to families. Good Work!”

Child Abuse Treatment Services Testimonial from Parent

“I believe that the Tic Toc program makes a big difference in the lives of the abused children and their lives by getting everything out in the open so the road to recovery can begin.”

Child Abuse Treatment Services Testimonial from Parent

“It has been very helpful in helping to sort out feelings and recognizing my needs to get assistance. I also was able to learn how to assist my daughter in her struggles as a victim of sexual abuse. I also learned more about sexual abuse."

Child Abuse Treatment Services Testimonial from Parent

“It has made me realize I am not the only one in this situation. And there is help for you if you really want it. You are not alone. I have learned a lot about sexual abuse. Hopefully it has helped me to help my children and myself. Thank you all for being here.”

C.K. Grandparent

My adult daughter, granddaughter, and I completed a 13-week program in December of 2009. We didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into!

I stepped in to help my daughter with my granddaughter for a period of time. It was a stressful time for us all but I am so blessed to have been able to help. The classes the Family Nurturing Center provided helped pull us tighter together.

The lessons taught were right on point and the caring of the facilitators was heartwarming.
