Educator thanks Family Preservation Services for Changes

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am writing this letter to inform Family Preservation Services about how valuable you counselors and program have been to me as a high school instructor in an alternative program. The children that alternative programs serve are among the most challenging students with whom one may ever work. I cannot emphasize enough what a help it is to have Family Preservation Services counselors in the classroom. The presence of the counselors has significantly reduced the stress level for the teachers in the program and they provide valuable services to our students that the staff of the school is not able to provide. I speak from experience because I worked in the same program without the involvement of Family Preservation Services last year. This past Monday, we had a very serious altercation at the school that involved the students in the alternative program. The only students who did not eventually become involved in the incident were those who were under the care of Family Preservation Services' counselors. I cannot emphasize enough how important their presence was to those children. I wish each of my students qualified for you program. They would all benefit from access to Family Preservation Services' counselors.

Sincerely,

Teacher of the alternative school
