– Gratefully, LAS (a mother)

“For five years I tried to get help for my daughter. No one was able to help. It was very frustrating. Finally, after I was about to give up all hope, I was introduced to Aldersgate and their Family Focused Solution Based Services, FFSBS.

“We were matched up with an excellent FFSBS team of therapists! The therapists were my angels! I would not have made it through such a difficult time with my daughter if the team at Aldersgate weren’t there for me every step of the way. They were professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. They helped me cope with this most difficult time of my life. If this team of wonderful therapists hadn’t come into my life at that time, I honestly have no idea what I would have done.

“I could not have imagined doing my job without Aldersgate.”

– Barbara L. Blase, Recently Retired School Social Worker, Upper Moreland School District

“I collaborated with Aldersgate Youth Bureau for 28 years and I was never been disappointed in their services. When I first began my job at the school district, I found Aldersgate to be a wonderful resource for families looking for counseling. Later I became involved with Aldersgate’s school-based program. I worked closely with the onsite Aldersgate Staff as they provided our students at the Middle School and the High School with support groups. We found that students in those groups made progress on their at-risk behaviors. I have also worked with Aldersgate’s SCOH services and with the Family Focused Solution Based Services program. All of their employees are professionals who are caring and skilled. I have enjoyed the collaboration with Aldersgate around our families. We are all working together to better the lives of our students and their families. I can’t imagine doing my job without Aldersgate.”

“Through Aldersgate, I was able to get back on my feet and begin a new life and build upon the advice and support they gave me to handle this.

“As I look back and see where I am today, I’m very grateful they came into my life and guided me along.
“I want to thank Pat and everyone at Aldersgate.”
