A recent women's group provided a very valuable connection for one of the mothers at Woodridge Park. Her son attends the elementary age program after school, and for some time her children have been receiving services through Child Haven and counseling through SWYFS.
We first met F in a New Futures ELL class in 2012. She had recently come from Turkey with her three children and her husband. Their children participated in our programs, and F was very involved in ELL class, but she was very reserved, and it took some extra effort for staff to get to know her.
