Box 5103 • West Hills, CA 91308 • 818-704-9117 • www.stillpointfamilyresources.com Same Mission, New Goal F or the past 16 years, Stillpoint Family Resources has been Changing Lives, Strengthening Families, and Shaping Culture through our counseling and educational programs. These programs were begun in response to a need that was seen in the special needs community to support families of special needs children with emotional support in times of stress, and grew into the nonprofit we are today: supporting all people who come to us in crisis at our counseling centers, and reaching out to individuals and families who won’t necessarily ever seek counseling through our VirtueYou curriculum found both online and in published materials. As Stillpoint has grown, we have continued our work with families of special needs children, both in private family counseling at our centers, and in work at our office in the Institute for Maternal and Fetal Health at Children’s Hospital LA. A new goal that has come out of our original mission and continued work with families of special needs children has arisen through talks with our clients and friends with children who are now young adults with special needs: appropriate and meaningful housing situations for them. Stillpoint is beginning a long-range campaign to have homes for men and women with special needs in the San Fernando Valley or surrounding areas. The goal not only includes opening up homes that could house up to 10 adults with special needs, but it is hoped that the spaces would double as meetin g p l a c e s f o r our VirtueYou workshops, family gatherings, community b u i l d i n g Founder and Executive Director Dr. Ross Porter events, and with his son John Michael and wife Jenni. would include a meditative garden. The residents of the homes would work the events, the garden, the kitchen, and be a part of the communities that surround them in a vital and necessary way. As we begin to draw up plans, look into legalities, and decide on a budget, we look forward to speaking with you about this new goal and in having you join with us in building this vital Community Center and Home for people with special needs. We look forward to embracing our newest work in the special needs community with your help. Thank you for praying for this project as we move forward. Together, we can continue to Shape Culture in our local community as we change the lives of families with special needs adult children who are looking for transformative housing. Healing for All Last week two clients shared the waiting room. One had arrived via his very expensive German made car, one had taken two busses to get to his therapy appointment. One had been Ivy League educated, one had not graduated from high school. One owned a business, and one was grateful to have just found employment, albeit part-time employment. In the everyday world, I have trouble imagining a scenario where these two men's path would cross. But at Stillpoint Family Resources this is far from unusual — seeing such diversity in any one of our seven different office locations in Southern California. Because Stillpoint Family Resources is known for both its professional excellence and it's commitment to the under-served. And this is why for over fifteen years now, Stillpoint Family Resources has been 'changing lives, strengthening families, and shaping culture.' — Dr. Ross Porter Our Vision The challenges Never before have so many families -- parents and children alike -- been in search of guidance and coping help as they deal with social, spiritual and psychological challenges. And where there is challenge, even crisis, there is also significant opportunity for growth and healing, and transformation. There is a great need for good news--counsel that encourages, strengthens and heals. What we believe Stillpoint Family Resources is committed to changing lives, strengthening families and shaping culture, with a heart for helping underserved people. We don't believe that money should be the deciding factor in whether a family ultimately survives. Through our counseling and educational efforts, we are making an important difference to families in greater Los Angeles and beyond. What we do Stillpoint Family Resources provides healing and hope to individuals, couples, and families in need through counseling and educating. We proactively respond to issues that threaten their emotional and spiritual lives. We have offices throughout Southern California, and we also offer support in our VirtueYou books, blogs, and podcasts. Additionally, our speakers' bureau presents seminars and workshops across the country.
