How T B S helped m y child..

"My child was having a hard t ime at home and most ly at school. W ith an open DCFS case, andhaving my daughters removed from me for 2 years, I learned to let the program help me. Shewas fear ful of everything and was depending on grandmother for everything. Usually, I wouldt ry to manage the situat ion by myself, I now let others help. She improved so much; moreconfidence in herself and the TBS team taught her how to express herself w ith words. Now ,she is eager to go to school every morning. She has learned a lot from her TBS Coach. A goalof mine is to cont inue talking to each other so we can have a great communicat ion. I reallyappreciate this program, because they put their hear ts into their work, they are veryresourceful."
