Customer Comments about Functional Family Parole

"You really care about us and we appreciate how you treat us with respect and understanding when family issues come up."

-Parent of youth on sex offender parole

"No matter what happens I know I can trust you to help me and my family. Thank you"

-Parent of youth upon discharge from FFP

"Thank you for including me in everything because when my son has had troubles in the past, I felt like no one wanted me to be involved but parole is very different."

-Parent of youth on sex offender parole

"She (Functional Family Parole counselor) has worked hard with us. If we did not succeed totally it was due to our shortcomings and a lot of history between my son and I...She is an excellent counselor and facilitator."

-From a parent in Kennewick, WA

"I really feel like the last session was crucial to our progress as a family. Both my husband and I felt so much better about our family issues after you left (the session) and our evening with our son was wonderful, I am really looking forward to continuing FFT when he comes back."

-From a parent in Yakima, WA

"Thank you for the graduation gift. That was kool and a nice surprise. I can't believe I actually did it. It feels awesome now. You guys have been really great to me and I appreciate it. Thanks again."

-FFP youth

"Thanks for keeping me clean and out of trouble. Keep it up!"

-Kelso FFP youth

"I haven't liked too many authority figures, but you're ok."

-Vancouver FFP youth

"This (FFP) has been very helpful for me, I am trying not to do the things that I have done in the past and being able to talk with someone about it helps me to think about it before it happens."

-Parent of Region 1 FFP youth

"After the FFP counselor leaves the home all of us stay sitting together and continue the talk for another hour about how we work as a family and how to provide good parenting to 4 or 5 teen boys. It's been really helpful."

-Parent of Region 3 FFP youth
