Commenter: Children's Trust -A mom of children needing these services

PLEASE do not limit access
 

As a staff member for an organization that works with children who have been abused, I implore you to not limit access for children needing the servies these changes could affect. As a mother of a child who was severely neglected within her birth family and a grandmother to a child who has developmental delays and whose mother has been in and out of his life for his entire life - I beg you to think about my daughter and grandson. They both attend therapy weekly, my daughter has been working through her childhood trauma for almost six years, without the guidance of her therapist, she would not be where she is today. My grandson has not yet learned what grief is and he will need the continued work through his therapist to help him work through it - they both did not ask for their past circumstances, they are now in a loving home being given the opportunity to heal, please do not take that opportunity from them.
