(as told by a Parent Advocate working with a family on a Wraparound Team):
“When I first met Ms. Helen* and her son Juan*, he had just returned home from a respite stay. Juan had a history of isolating himself from his mother and wouldn’t talk to her that often.
Ms. Helen’s goal was to have her and Juan bond together like they did before he went to respite. They worked on this goal with the help of Tapestry and their Wraparound Team. Since being involved with Tapestry, mother and son have been getting along a lot better; they now have family night and enjoy going out together to eat on occasions.
Juan has been cleaning the house and abiding by moms rules as well as rules set by the court and his probation officer. Ms. Helen and Juan’s father have grown closer and are keeping in contact to help manage their son’s behavior. Juan’s grandmother has also reconnected with the family. Mom reports a decrease in her level of stress and claims to feel better overall.
I am proud to say the goals set for this family have been accomplished by mom’s willingness to accept help, and the support of the Family Team and a Parent Advocate. The family is doing much better.”
