AFL Network Services announces that the Southeastern Children’s Home (SECH) is the recipient of a $4,750 Fujikura Foundation grant to support counseling session for families in the community in need of financial assistance. The areas of counseling include, but are not limited to, stress management, family strengthening, parenting, anger management and mild depression.

“As the lack of stability in the economy continues, additional stress is being placed on the nuclear family,” said Robert Kimberly, Executive Director of SECH. “From past experience, we know this type of trauma can and often does lead to family dysfunction, which then leads to child abuse or neglect.”

“As a recipient of the Fujikura Foundation grant, SECH will be able to provide individual adult counseling, family counseling and adolescent counseling. We are grateful to the Foundation for their recognition of this need in our community, especially now, when we have seen a greater volume of inquiries for assistance with both counseling and the inability to pay for sessions.”

Southeastern Children’s Home and Counseling Center is a faith-based organization that provides care to needy children and families through residential group home care, foster care, adoption, maternity services and counseling.

“AFL is excited to have the opportunity to support SECH and its programs,” said Kent Brown, Vice President of AFL Network Services, Enterprise Division. “We are committed to strengthening families in the communities where AFL operates and believe we will have a positive impact serving SECH’s efforts.”
