With your support, you can transform lives like Miguelito’s. At just six years old, he was emotionally struggling until he started receiving care at the ECS Para Las Familias (PLF), a bilingual, bicultural behavioral healthcare program for low-income children and their caregivers.

Miguelito had been prone to violent, unrestrained outbursts. Sometimes, he would kick and scream, and sometimes, he would spontaneously burst into tears. This made for a rough life, not just at home but in kindergarten as well, where he could not transition between activities without a forceful explosion of negative emotions.

Thankfully for Miguelito and his family, his doctor referred them to PLF. There, through sessions with a licensed child therapist, Miguelito began to learn how to process emotions, be more attentive, better communicate his needs, and understand the needs of others.

His parents recently shared that he now takes the initiative to apply techniques he learned at PLF, like pausing to sit and take deep breaths.

While two caring parents embrace Miguelito, many other children at PLF arrive due to traumas they have experienced, such as the loss of a caregiver, illness, abuse, or neglect. The PLF therapists assess the needs of each child to build a specific approach for their treatment. This work changes the trajectory of children’s lives and is made possible by your love and support.

Your contribution will support them and other ECS clients who rely on your generosity to transform their lives.
