Foster Care Family Navigator (FCFN)

Was there anything else that was your favorite aspect of the app, or was really helpful to have in the app? 

"It was delivered really good. I enjoyed it. I got great information. You know, it just helps me just think, and be thoughtful of the minds of others—a little bit more thoughtful and then knowing the unknown. To know those things that you don't know, you learn to know a little bit better, or the information was given to you in a different position, and how to use it. It was great."  

Family Telehealth Project (FTP)

How did the Family Telehealth Project help you and your teen?  

We didn't really know how to talk through our problems... And that's where the program came in and was really helpful.

It really helped us to learn how to really talk through our problems without letting the tempers flare and cloud our judgment...to really step back and put ourselves in each other's shoes... to be able to really look at each other's point of view, without the anger. To stop, and breathe, and look at it, and really try to see where each other's coming from.

And with that, it's really made a huge difference at where the problem goes after that. It's really helped diffuse situations in our household and made a huge difference because of that.

What aspect of the text messages was most helpful for you?  

"Probably just like, supportive messages that, like, came along with them... stuff that make you, like, tell you... keep your head up and stuff like that. Like stuff that will... tell you... keep going."
