A Promise Counselor reported that twin brothers who are both enrolled in Promise and their Mom started working with a job developer last month. Within 2 weeks one youth got a part-time job at McDonalds, Mom started an internship at a local mental health support center, and the other youth has been interviewing for jobs. The Mom’s internship has been going so well that her hours are being increased. Their older brother has expressed interest in getting services after seeing how all his other family members are going to work.
This family has struggled a lot as a single parent household, juggling multiple children with disabilities, Mom without a high school diploma, and lots of service providers involved. With everything going on, Mom has been stressed and frustrated, but the hope is that all this activity and extra income will spark more positivity in her life.
