And there's the rub
When we, as a society, go off on the "Save the Children" parade, and the politicos FORGET who the children actually are, we've lost our collective souls. Most children of those convicted and incarcerated will have emotional and intellectual problems. The unresolved grief that it inflicts them is rarely recognised and much less treated. Nanette, I'm sure you have insights to the problems involved that are very beneficial to those kids, or any child suffering from a broken home. God Bless! You indeed have found your path! Ric
Wish I was GROWN
Hi Guys,
My name is Nanette Matthews, and I met your esteemed director while he was still in prison, in a workshop sponsored by Good Works where he was working as a trainer. I cannot tell you what an insipiration Dennis has been and continues to be in my life. He has taken what could have been an impediment and used it as leverage to get him and the community he loves and respects so much to the next level. I want to share with the group what I am doing in the meantime. I am currently a senior in NCCU studying what has to be one of the most rigourous disciplines known to mankind, political science. I am too an ex-offendor. Although mine and Dennis' stories may diverge a bit, I was a child of the ghetto and grew up surrounded by the culture of poverty that we hear so much about these days. Moving to North Carolina afforded me a paradigmattic view of the world that had I not cime here I may have never experienced. My life and its values changed radically and here I am. I currently work in a for-profit business that provides behavioral health treatment to children and adults. The service for children is paid through medicaid as long as the child has been diagnosed with a mental health disorder. Just as a point of information. Children with parents incarcerated have so much to be concerned with, our communities shouldn't fail them as well. We can do more for them. Just to let you know, the service is called Intensive In Home and again, is paid through medicaid. Thank you.
