Supporting A Family In Crisis
​
Mrs. Rodriquez, a monolingual Tagalog speaking mother came to APA with concerns about her son's situation. Her son Rogelio was sent back to the Philippines when he was only 16 months old. When Rogelio returned to America at the age of 18, he had a culture shock.
Everything was so foreign -- the language, the lifestyle. He felt helpless and didn't want to speak or engage in any activities. Different resources were needed to help him adjust to his new life and most of all, he needed emotional support.

Together with a Filipino American social services agency, APA's Family Advocate provided support on various levels. Rogelio received guidance to deal with his worries and concerns, to feel like part of the family and that he can be trusted. He got help to find schools suitable for a new immigrant and to enroll in an ESL program to better his English.

Mrs. Rodriquez and her husband were referred to attend APA's Parent Support Group and Parenting Education course to become better parents for Rogelio and the other children in the family.

It took almost three years to support the Rodriquez family, and to help boost the confidence of Rogelio. He persisted and did well at school. With our help he was able to connect more with his parents and family, which made things smoother at home. While rocky at first, he made it through eventually.
