Celebrating Our Youth
|
As a recent “Graduate” of CFC, along with Billy his entire Child and Family Team members have a lot to celebrate. After being enrolled in CFC for almost 4 years Billy was recently discharged from the CMO and is now looking towards his very bright future. When asked about who Billy credits for all of his success he openly replies with, “ I would not be where I am today if it was not for my Care Manager Kelly Nasert—who always gave my team great ideas about how to help me get better but also my family for sure! My family has always stuck by me and I have learned to calm down and listen to them before I react.”
After receiving his High School diploma in 2008 he has been able to his credit become a junior volunteer Fire Fighter, held two jobs, and volunteers for the POP Warner Football league in his town. In his own words Billy’s plans also include, “being off medication in a few months and becoming a Navy Fire Fighter.” Billy has also volunteered his time to CFC in making committee decisions not only with the Service Provider Wraparound Training itself but the Youth Event Committee as well.
A True CFC Celebration!

WHAT works for me may work for you……….
As a CFC youth for over a year I have really learned some great things about myself along with my abilities. If you find yourself in a difficult situation try the following:
Don’t take things personal, everyone has a bad day!
Talk to someone you trust and don’t hold your feelings inside, you may end up going over the edge.
Surround yourself with positive people– my BA , friends & family are my support!
Hang in there, every experience is a learning opportunity!

The "Amazing Race” CFC youth event
was a success from beginning to end. On June 27th, 2008 over 40 of
our youth enjoyed a fun filled day of team building and recreational activities.
From the great hula hoop contest, to the word scramble game all the way to the
boat building contest, everyone was a winner!
The day would not have been possible
without all the hard work and creativity of CFC staff and our community
partners.
The Elks Club of Old Bridge deserve
a very special acknowledgement for their donation of space and food as well as
their time and willingness to assist in anyway possible.
Joe Parauda, owner and operator of Chef In Thyme also
donated his invaluable services of cooking lunch during the event along with two
great side salads.
A final thank you to our priceless
service provider volunteers from The Youth Success Network, the Youth Advocate
Program and the Family
Support Organization of Middlesex County – we could
have not done it without you all!
