I have been working with my client for a couple years, and the progress I have witnessed in the past three months while he has been placed in Mr. and Mrs. Ward’s Treatment Family Home far exceeds the progress made in the entire time prior. Their structured, supportive, and therapeutic environment has made a remarkable difference. Based on this experience, I fully intend to refer more clients to the Wards’ home.

We are truly grateful for the guidance and encouragement Samyel and Ja’Nice Ward Sr. provided when we were new to being Professional Parent Home Providers. Their wisdom, patience, and willingness to share their experiences made a significant difference in our journey. They offered not only practical advice on navigating daily responsibilities, but also reassurance during times when everything felt overwhelming. Their kindness and generosity helped us build confidence in our role and reminded us that we were not alone in this important work. We deeply appreciate the time they invested in us and the example they continue to set through their dedication and care. We truly find the work rewarding and consider our clients as family.
- Mr. & Mrs. Melvin Pearsall Sr., Treatment Family Home Providers
For over 20 years, we’ve been working with kids and families who’ve gone through some really tough times. We’ve seen just about every kind of residential option and out-of-home placement there is, but nothing has ever come close to this program. It’s not just about the kids getting help, though that’s a huge part of it. Every youth in the program has strong mental health support, and the whole family is brought in to learn new ways to handle challenges, reconnect, and build better habits together. Week by week, you can see the difference as kids and parents practice these skills at home and start to feel hopeful again. For the first time, we were watching kids actually stay at home or, if that wasn’t possible, leave with a start on the life skills they needed to take care of themselves. Being part of this work has been such a blessing to our family. Our only wish is that more kids had the chance to experience it, because it truly changes lives.
- Wendie & Travis Dickerson, Treatment Family Home Providers
During a very difficult time as a provider, I found myself completely distraught and unsure of how to handle a challenging situation with a client. In that moment of crisis, Allison stepped in with calm, steady guidance. Her role as the Treatment Family Home Coordinator was absolutely crucial. She listened, offered practical solutions, and walked me through the steps I needed to take with confidence. Allison’s support not only helped me navigate the situation effectively but also gave me the reassurance that I wasn’t alone. I’m truly grateful for her leadership.
