Testimonials
Vicky Moreno, Exceptional Family Resource Center/Centro de Recursos para Familias Excepcionales
As a family resource specialist, I've been able to participate in several webinars and I love how easy, interactive, and full of information they are. I've been able to share some of the strategies with the families we serve but also as a mom myself with all the craziness of the current times I've been able to use these strategies on my family.
Marcella Frankson, Early Start Resource Specialist, Exceptional Family Early Start Resource Center, Bishop, CA
I am an Early Start Resource Specialist in Inyo County and mother of five. Living in a small rural community sources are limited as is. By gaining the information that is provided by FRCNCA I am able to share with families that are in need of these sources. I myself with children in service programs find it at most beneficial. Thank you again FRCNCA for your amazing work in all that you have done.
Gina M. Stabile, Assistant Manager, Children, Family and Advocacy Services, Alpha Resource Center
My mentor and manager always says, “I do not know everything, but I do a lot of smart people.” As I grow and learn, the FRCNCA allows me to meet and learn from a lot of smart people and in turn helps me support the families I serve better.
