Partners For Strong Families exists to strengthen families by increasing access to excellent counseling and marriage resources.
THE FOUNDERS
Launching Partners For Strong Families was simply a continuation of the work Cassie and Josh were already involved in. As a family, Josh and Cassie have served the community as foster parents for over 50 kids; adopting 5 along the way. Since the beginning of his career as a marriage counselor, Josh has been helping families to stay intact and helping parents to model healthy relationships for their children.
Their goal in the beginning remains our mission today: To strengthen families by increasing access to excellent counseling services and marriage resources. This mission has been core to what has driven Josh and Cassie their entire married life, and their hope is to increasing the scale and impact of this mission through the efforts of Partners For Strong Families.
With a background in nonprofit leadership and higher education, Asa’s personal mission has always been to serve those who serve others. Joining the Partners team, first as a volunteer and now as our Executive Director aligns with this mission perfectly. He is passionate about supporting those in the helping-professions and increasing access to their amazing gifts, because he believes that every family can flourish when it has access to vital support resources.
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
Jodi has been on staff since 2015. She works alongside Josh, Cassie and Asa to help Partners for Strong Families grow in their mission to reach organizations and families across the globe. She has worked as a administrative assistant her entire career and her gift is in the details. Whether it’s answering questions or helping organizations and clients get set up with our scholarship program, she gets it done! Her heart is in serving and she believes if we each do our part, we can change the world one life at a time.
Alongside our efforts to increase access to counseling through scholarships and grants, we’re also delighted to help the underserved gain access through new counseling delivery innovations.
MyDevice online video counseling services allow families in under-served areas across the country, with inadequate access to counseling services, to connect with a counselor on the internet connected device of their choosing, from any location convenient for them.
For those without a good internet connection or a private place to engage counseling, there is an expanding network of AccessPoints. AccessPoints are physical counseling office locations where clients can come to receive counseling services.
At these locations, a counselor joins the session via video conferencing equipment. This allows clients to access specialists for their need, even when there are not clinicians in their region who can provide the service.
