How We Can Help You
A Fresh Start: A Clients Story
My name is Mary Alice and on October 9, 2008 my daughter Valerie was killed by a drunk driver. For my husband and I, our lives changed forever. Her loss was devastating. We were left without our daughter and her four children were left without a mother in their lives. We were filled with so much pain and anger. My husband and I took the kids in and have been raising them ever since.
We were struggling to pick up the pieces, not only for us but for our grandchildren. I had to work extra hard to make sure we would all be okay. The loss of their mother was unbearable for the children and I didn’t know how to help them on my own. It was tough not having all the answers. . .

Supplying Healthy Alternatives for Personal Empowerment
S.H.A.P.E. combines positive discipline techniques with standard behavior modification based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. ABA is a scientifically based approach in effectively dealing with behavior management. Parents struggling with behaviors such as power, revenge, attention seeking and avoidance will find this class helpful.
Parents will learn:
1) How to recognize the reason behind the various behaviors
2.) How to respond to the negative behavior in order to reduce future occurrences
4.) How to teach their children the responses they desire
The ultimate goal of this class is to empower both parents and children in strengthening the parent-child relationship, in order to help the family unit flourish as a whole.
Next session starts Tuesday, January 10th, 2012! Call 361-888-6041 to register.
