Family Education classes provides support for Gabriela online and in Spanish

Gabriela is a single mom who tries her best to provide for her children. With recent health issues, Gabriela struggles with feeling overwhelmed both emotionally and financially. She is the mother of two children, a 13-year old daughter and 18-month old son. DSS became involved in their lives when her daughter became pregnant last year. DSS required Gabriela to attend a family education class and she enrolled in The Incredible Years™ School Age Program.

 

Just before the class started, DSS closed her family’s case and she was unsure if she needed to attend. Attending the class in-person class would be difficult due to a conflict with her work schedule. Gabriela is also a native Spanish-speaker and she was worried about keeping up in English. Our facilitator encouraged Gabriela to attend the DHHS Incredible Years™ School Age online class as it was a better fit to her needs and schedule, an interpreter could also be provided to help when needed.

 

‘I loved this class! I learned new ways to interact and communicate with my children. I also felt totally supported and understood by Thompson’s staff.’ ~ Gabriela
