When we first met Ashley, she had little motivation to go to school due to her struggles with self-esteem. She was a very shy and quiet young person who needed someone to hold space for her to be vulnerable and be her authentic self.
Our Youth Promotora, Julia, began to work with Ashley by providing 1:1 mentorship along with referring her to therapy. Her family signed up for the Parent Project in the Fall of 2023, and Ashley and her little sister began to participate in Entre Amigos.
Now Ashley wakes up with a boost of energy ready and prepared to go to school! Ashley is constantly keeping the family motivated to register for events, resources, and services to continue that emotional and familial growth. She is a completely different girl! Entre Amigos and the Parent Project boosted her outlook on life. Even her mother's emotional and mental health has improved by seeing her little girl begin to thrive. One person’s decision to seek support has helped this entire family begin to understand each other and strive together.
"I can now have a conversation with Ashley, we can talk about her struggles, and her Self-Esteem has been boosted!"
