The name of the article that I read was
called “FAMILY
SERVICE INC INTRODUCES NEW PROGRAM.”
This article was about the organization Family Services, who helps
families deal with poverty. This organization came up with a new
program that would help these families in a better way. The name of
the program that they came up with is Family
Advocacy. This program was established to give these families the
tools, that they need to live a better life. This is a way to help
these families help themselves. They do this by giving each family a
counselor. Family Services will council more than 20 dozen families.
The executive director of the Family Services talked about the
importance of education. He said “Education starts from when you
are a child, and that they help the families to protect their
children by doing this.” They also want to educate people by
helping them get their GED's. They said, that one of the problems
with this is transportation. One solution to this would be to build
more offices to have classes at. Other tools that they give to the
families are things, such as ways to balance a check book, how to
talk to people, and using people as resources. With this program,
they plan to help over 30 families in the first year. This program
starts in January of 2013.
This
organization has been serving families since 1906, which is
outstanding in itself. I really like this program, that they are
about to start. Families that are in these situations, such as
poverty, need the right tools to help them help themselves. I believe
if you educate these people and give them the tools to live a
productive life, there would be less families living in bad
circumstances. It is a good thing that this organization is starting
such a good program. Hopefully this program will lead other
organizations to do the same thing as well.
