Choosing the right support for your child is an important decision
The relationships we build with the families we serve are at the heart of everything we do.
What the Families we serve are Saying About Us
Dr. Rodriguez,
“I wanted to let you know how grateful and so thankful I am for you at a time when I was feeling so defeated you came into our lives and you were what Daisy needed. She connected with you and grew to trust you and you made the difference. I will always be grateful to you. Thank you for continuing to be a wonderful resource in person in Daisy’s life as she continues to grow and get stronger to be the amazing young lady she is. My gratitude to you is endless.”
Love, Juli
To the Stepping Forward team,
“I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the care and support you gave Jack these last several months.
When he arrived he was in a true moment of crisis and as a family, we were overwhelmed and unsure of what the path forward would look like. From the very beginning, you met him - and me - with compassion, steadiness, and understanding. You took the time to truly get to know him, to meet him where he was, and to work with him in a way that made him feel seen supported and safe.
Over the past months, you didn’t just provide treatment. You helped guide him through one of the most difficult periods of his life. With patience, consistency, and care, you helped Shepherd him toward a place of greater stability, confidence, and hope. The progress he has made is a reflection of the environment you created, and the genuine investment you made in his well-being.
Please know how much this has meant not only to him, but to our entire family. It is incredibly powerful to witness a team of people who care so deeply and show up every day to make a difference in the lives of kids and families in need.
As he steps down to IOP, we do so with immense gratitude for all you have done to help him get here thank you for everything. I am so very grateful for each and every one of you.”
With sincere appreciation,
Elisa
Dear Stepping Forward Staff,
“You have been extremely kind and helpful to our family and, especially Connor, during his time in the PHP and IOP programs. We are so grateful to all of you for your compassion, patience, care, knowledge, expertise, and thoughtfulness in supporting Connor's personal growth and success.
You are a true team with each person playing an important part. Please know that we very much recognize and appreciate the profound difference each staff member makes.
As a token of our appreciation, we wanted to share a favorite poem/short story about the impact one person can make.
Thank you for making such a profound impact and difference for Connor (our starfish).”
...We will forever be grateful. Have a wonderful summer!

What the Children we Serve Are Saying About Us
Dear Stepping Forward,
“Thank you for having me in your program. Thank you for all of the skills you have taught me so that I can apply them to my life outside of Stepping Forward. You have taught me to be grateful for the things I have in my life, and how to calm down after tough moments in my day. You guys are so nice and kind.“
Thank you SFCC.
Love, Colin G.
“SFCC helped me so much during a rough time. They reached for me and were nothing but kind and understood me. Not just understanding. The dogs were great and so is reinforcement. Five stars great customer service.”
Cater D.
“EMOTION: Thankful
CONNECTED THOUGHT: For all of SFCC‘s help!
CHALLENGING A NEGATIVE THOUGHT: Where I started doesn’t define where I am now.
INEFFECTIVE BEHAVIOR: Bottling emotions and self-isolating.
EFFECTIVE BEHAVIOR: Asking for help and being honest in Therapy / Group.
POSITIVE SELF STATEMENT: I’ve come so far with the help of those that care about me (like all of you at Stepping Forward)”
Thank you!
