Poor communication, lacking management and you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. They only tell you what you do wrong. 

It takes a particular kind of person to stay in this role and you will never be given the amount of appreciation you deserve. 

A lot of beautiful moments helping families and enjoying times with the kids I'll never forget, however. 

I quit because of hostile work environments mismanaged by higher ups. It became impossible to stay and it felt like all I was told was to "stand up for myself." I happened to be partnered with the worst worker there and expected to reign him in while staying unappreciated and even verbally degraded.

The agency offered positions that were entirely deoendent on outside funders, like the Juvenile Welfare Board (where funding is dependent on revenues from property taxes).  When revenues fall in these outside funding sources then job positions within Family Resources cannot continue.
There was also a lot of unnecessary office politics going on.

I'm rating this agency 1 out of 5 stars, with the 1 star being mainly for the direct staff as they have endured so much with little compensation and appreciation.

My list of grievances include: constant turnover, low compensation, low job security,  terrible leadership and lack of support. While I understand non-profit agencies are limited in what they can do, I believe with competent management, this could be remedied. I believe Family Resources needs to take a good look in the mirror and see the error in their ways or else this agency and its employees finances will be on the line.

Supervise teenage residents and transport them to and from work as needed
You must have a different approach and mindset when dealing with the teenagers
Management was as supportive 
The staff was easy to work with and supportive
Trying to keep the teenagers from running away from the facility was the hardest part of the job.
Taking the teenagers on outings

Working with the Children and families was very rewarding. Working with the staff members was very frustrating as the office was full of catty women, which often created a hostile work environment. If you weren't a part of their clique they were against you. Not much training given to new hires you either sink or swim. The company has a very high turn over due to this behavior.

I am being supervised for my MFT internship with the owner. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of psychotherapy. I share an office with an other intern and the schedule is great for both of us. The most enjoyable part of the job is learning new skills and being able to practice them in a real life setting.

I have never worked with a more professional team and staff, whom honestly care about the community at large, and our troubled youth.

I interned as a counselor and provided group therapy at the safe 2 be shelter.  I would say yes if ever given the opportunity to work there.

The biggest issue I had with working for Family Resources was leadership. It was very poor. Compensation was also issue. I would not recommend this company for anyone.

It was fine.  Worked with good people.  Helped out families. Gave you a sense of purpose. No complaints. Not too much drama between coworkers. Everyone cared about their job  

Good experience. Got to grow a lot in here. Good vibes and good atmosphere. Very organized . Room to grow . I really loved working here. They pay good fair amount and good benefits.
