Welcome!!

 
When she came to El Futuro during her 8th grade year, she had trouble holding her head up and couldn't stop crying because of her sadness.  With thoughts of dropping out, she felt upset and disappointed in herself.  She had stopped hearing the words from her family and bristled when advice was given to her.  She found out about El Futuro through a presentation we did at her school.  Through therapy and a period of treatment with psychiatric medication, she became less sad, more hopeful and the smile returned to her pretty face.  During her 9th grade year she made the soccer team.  During her 10th grade year she celebrated her Quincenera.  In 11th grade she took her first AP class. In a couple of weeks she'll graduate from high school.  
 
Earlier this Spring she received a letter from UNC Chapel Hill congratulating her.  She sent us an email that said, "Thank you for helping me and encouraging me!" Signed, "A fresh new Tar Heel to be!"
 
As a participant in our "Hands Photo Project", a picture of her hands (above) now is displayed in our waiting room.  Others who come to El Futuro for help look at the photo and ask if they can also have a photo on the wall someday.  We look forward to someday celebrating with them and envision a wall full of hands!
 
Special thanks to Kristen Beck for volunteering to take these great photos!

Our First Spring Break "Parent Camp" was a Success!!

Parents reflected on who they are and learned healthy communication and positive parenting at the "Parent Camp."  Our school-based therapist Reyna and colleague Mimi Chapman from the School of Social Work worked together to pull off this unique experience.
 
Springing from this success, we look to offer an Incredible Years Parenting class for these and other parents this summer!
 
We were grateful for help with the Spring Break Parent Camp from Siler City Elementary, the Chatham YMCA and Chatham County Schools Title 1 Program - a great joint effort!!
