"…talked to me about the Parent/Child Center and I called and was able to talk to a very special person who understood. She listened to my story, and came to my home and assigned me to a very helpful person who spoke my language and was able to listen and understand. She was also able to counsel me and give me suggestions on how to be a good parent. Since that day I haven’t felt alone or frightened anymore. And I think I’m carrying out my role as a father very well. Because I love my son and he loves me very much.”
