Testimonials
"I just wanted to let you know what has been going on with Maria (FSW) for my male client. I have nothing but praise for Maria’s work and dedication as a FSW. There have been a lot of ups and downs with this family, and sometimes it can be difficult to work with them. But Maria has maintained communication since day one. I normally know what’s going on before the family calls me, thanks to Maria. Maria has also been great at dealing with emergencies. Her response time is admirable. She has responded even faster than CYC services. And is not afraid to lend a hand when needed. Anything from transportation to translating and even just making sure youth and mom attend their appointments. I’m really glad you have her in your CNW team. And I’m grateful to have her working with my kids on probation. I look forward on continuing working with CNW Alliance.
P.S. I know first hand that for the most part, having a great Mentor makes a great Mentee. So great job to Maria’s Mentor as well."

"Crystal and Will have been a blessing to my family. They absolutely care about our kids and go above and beyond. The kindness they showed us restored our faith and got us out of the juvenile justice system."

"My family support workers helped me to understand the juvenile justice system and services. They also helped me make decisions that were right for me and my family. And they didn't judge our family because we are different."

"The staff are kind and smart. They help us understand how and why we feel things. They model how to cope and react to different situations so we avoid getting in trouble or in more trouble."

"Crystal talks a lot! She says that she can talk all day if we don't participate so we participate and ask if we can listen to music. But I like her and Roxie too!."
