“You have to take care of yourself. If you’re not taking care of yourself, you can’t take care of your kids.”
— LaMisha

 

LaMisha’s daughter was born 6 weeks early, and during a time of martial strife with her husband. As LaMisha’s counseling progressed, she became better able to understand her own emotions, which in turn made her better able to understand her children’s feelings. She got weekly ‘homework’ that focused on self-care, to ensure she was giving herself the care she needed. Working with Futures First, LaMisha was able to get back to herself — her bubbly self.
