News and Notes and Quips and Comments - 2026
The Family Workshop, now in our 24th year continues to grow, just a little, and continues to be a safe and supportive place for clients. Every day we are grateful for that and well aware that this is due to a great staff and Therapists and clients who work hard to make life better for themselves and others. Keep it up you guys and…
If I could make one wish today, and know it would be done
Well I would say everyone could stay, ‘til they’re too old to die young
Let me watch my children grow, to see what they become
Oh Lord don’t let that cold wind blow, ‘til I’m too old to die young (WELCH)
We are profoundly saddened by the untimely passing of our good friend and counselor Bri Van Schuyver. Her great work here, both as an office manager and a counselor, will long be remembered. She used to say that she was proud of the work that clients do and privileged to be part of that process...our fondest farewell, dear one, from all of us.
Some great personal shout-outs:
Monica for adopting a child in need. Nick for caring for extended family and that little boy. Mike for makin’ an album and working on the trilogy (Mike plays the oud, look it up). Leslie for her constant “above and beyond” work with clients - she ought to get a prize. Raja for his techno assistance and for calming the water!
We are certainly aware of the heightened anxiety and tension in the community. All of us need and must create outlets to ease that tension in our lives. The internet is full of mental health and behavioral health ideas to ease that tension and/or call us. It is incredible how the entire culture has wrapped around and maneuvered through the pandemic, all the financial woes, politics, and immigration…all towards a semblance of normalcy. Be well, everybody.
Mental Health Matters
Oh, Oh, Oh and finally, our best wishes to all clients and Therapists and Staff, thank you for making this a special place, and bring the boys, and girls, home safe from all the conflicts around the world. Our slogan, again, for next year's T-shirts: The Family Workshop, Good Vibes, Great Counselors.
