Stories Change Lives...

I received this email from Janice Otremba who is the FASD Parent to Parent Support Worker in Kamloops, and I thought I would post this info in case anyone is interested. You don't have to live in Kamloops to participate.

We invite you to join us in a project that will offer needed support for all families living with a child with mental health challenges.

We would like to hear from you about how the mental health challenges of your child or youth has had an impact on you or your family.

Your stories will provide the foundation to create programming based on real needs – your needs.

The F.O.R.C.E is a provincial family organization that advocates, engages, educates and supports families for child and youth mental health. We are spearheading this project and have joined forces with an experienced interviewer to assist us.

Cindy Willick is an international educator and certified coach who helps people use the power of their stories to inspire others, influence change and deepen personal and professional relationships.

Together, we will be seeking your time and your stories on the personal and family impacts, both good and bad, that you have experienced with your child or youth with mental health challenges.

Your stories will guide the development of educational training and a book on personal and family impacts from mental health challenges.

Please email us at theforce@bckidsmentalhealth.org before January 12

Interviews will take approximately 1.5 hours or less and will be conducted in a setting of your choice, or by phone. if you wish to share your story.
Anonymity is assured.

Sharing your stories will make a difference.
Thank you
