Patricia and 3-year-old Eleanor were constantly battling over control, which brought a lot of stress to the single mom and her child. Through Parents as Teachers, Patricia learned strategies that improved their mother/daughter relationship and instilled a sense of calm throughout the house: “I no longer go into the bedroom and scream into a pillow.” Learn more about our Parents as Teachers program: https://lnkd.in/g6P4eyWF

Oakland Family Services is a private, nonprofit human service organization serving children, individuals, and families.
About us
Since 1921, Oakland Family Services has recognized that sometimes families face challenges they cannot resolve on their own. In the 98 years since then, individuals and families have continued to struggle with problems that require professional support, guidance and services. More and more families are dealing with day care, parenting issues, family and work stress. Substance abuse, family violence, child abuse, divorce, death and a host of other problems contribute to feelings of loneliness and confusion. Oakland Family Services remains committed to providing a wealth of programs for individuals and families in our community, programs that help put individuals and families back on a path to a brighter future.

Thank you to all who joined us at the ballpark last weekend! ⚾️ It was a wonderful afternoon focused on family. We celebrated our foster caregiving families (who helped carry the flag during the national anthem!🇺🇸). OFS board members, donors, and staff members also invited their families to partake in the festivities. Brian Newman, Chairman of the Board, threw the first pitch with his son by his side! 🧢 Days like these remind us how lucky we are to have such a strong support system made up of passionate, caring families.
