I started working at a residential treatment center for teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, and addiction. I began working there because I had just started working towards a bachelor’s degree in Marriage and Family Services, and wanted to help families in conflict. The more I worked towards my bachelor’s degree, the more I learned about working with families.
My work has been good practice for using my degree to help others. I wrote down one day that I wanted to do more to help the program I was working for. I started talking to others about my desire to teach the families I was already working with how to resolve the conflict in their families. I made up a plan to work with families and educate the parents on how to work with their teens. As the information started to take form in creating a way to teach and educate the parents, I was given an opportunity at work to be able to work closer with the parents.
A coworker approached me about being the program director, which comes with a lot of responsibility, and training the mentors working with the boys. Slowly my desire to help the families began to take form. I have been able to see how my desire to help the families educate the parents and help their teens is starting to happen.
The more I want to help families resolve conflict, the more it is appearing in my life. I wanted to find other ways to help families in conflict and the opportunity to become a Rare Faith facilitator came into my journey and have already been a part of helping families resolve conflict even just as I have been in training as a facilitator.
The skills I learned in school and through other areas in my life have already been used as I talk with others about Rare Faith and the available programs. What I have expressed has started to come to me due to the law of cause and effect’ as I have learned through Rare Faith and the Hidden Treasures book written by Leslie Householder.
