If you reached out for help and did not receive a response, please know this was due to the email issue—not because we didn’t want to help.

Volunteer Advocates Needed – Make a Difference in Someone’s Life 🌟

Are you a compassionate, supportive person who wants to help others in a meaningful way?

As a Volunteer Advocate, you’ll provide emotional support to individuals who have experienced sexual violence. You’ll listen, answer questions, share local resources, and help restore a sense of dignity and autonomy to survivors. You don’t need to be an expert — just someone who cares and is willing to be there.

💬 “Sometimes just having someone listen can be the first step toward healing.”

We provide comprehensive training to ensure you feel confident and prepared. Training covers:
✅ Understanding sexual violence
✅ Trauma and crisis response
✅ Medical-forensic exams
✅ Legal processes
✅ Supporting survivors with care and compassion

🗓️ Next Training Dates:
📅 Sept. 19–20 & Oct. 3–4
🕤 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM (in-person preferred, flexible if needed)

⏰ On-call shifts are flexible!
We know life is busy — that’s why we work with each volunteer to create an on-call schedule that fits their personal and work-life balance. Whether you can commit to a few hours a week or certain days a month, we’ll make it work.

You don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to help, when you're ready.

Please join us in welcoming Chris Fike, LMSW, to the Child & Family Services team! 🌟

Chris brings over 20 years of experience in counseling and social work, along with a deep passion for supporting individuals and families on their healing journey. With a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University and specialized training in Gender Affirming Care, Chris offers compassionate, person-centered therapy grounded in evidence-based practices.

He specializes in a wide range of areas including ADHD, anxiety, child development, couples and family therapy, depression, domestic violence, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, and gender identity.

Outside of the therapy room, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife and cats, diving into creepy speculative fiction, watching sports, and stirring up a little good trouble. He’s a proud Detroit Lions fan and a devoted follower of Kentucky Wildcats basketball. 🏈🏀📚🐾

We are thrilled to have Chris on board and are excited for the incredible impact he’ll make in our community. Welcome, Chris!

Dogs aren't just pets—they're family, companions, and sometimes even our best therapists. 🐶💛

On National Dog Day, we celebrate the unconditional love, comfort, and emotional support dogs bring into our lives.

Research shows that spending time with pets can:
🧠 Reduce anxiety and stress
💓 Lower blood pressure
😊 Boost mood and connection

Whether they greet you with wagging tails or snuggle close during hard days, dogs have an incredible way of helping us feel grounded and loved.

At Child and Family Services of Saginaw, we honor all the ways animals support emotional well-being—because healing doesn’t always come with words.

🎯 We’re aiming for hope—and we couldn’t do it without amazing community partners like Security Credit Union and Saginaw - Brockway Rd!

We are incredibly grateful to Security Credit Union for stepping up as our T-Shirt Sponsor, and to Walmart Saginaw – Brockway Rd for supporting the event as a Range Sponsor for this year’s Aim for Hope event on October 12th at Saginaw Field and Stream Club.

Thanks to their generosity, we’re able to bring our community together to raise awareness and support a cause that’s close to all of our hearts. 💜

All funds raised will go directly to supporting survivors of sexual assault—helping them on their journey toward healing with the support, resources, and compassion they deserve.

A big thank you for their ongoing commitment to giving back. With your support, this event becomes even more powerful.

👉 Sponsorships are still available!
To learn more or get involved, contact Catherine Martinez at (989) 393-4231.

Let’s aim for hope—together. 🎯💜

You're Not Alone—Support is Here When You Need It 💙

Life will always bring challenges—but how we respond can make all the difference. 💙

Healthy coping skills give our minds and bodies the space to rest, reset, and manage stress in ways that support long-term wellbeing. Instead of bottling up emotions or turning to habits that leave us feeling worse, we can choose tools that help us process what we’re going through and build resilience for the future.

Even small steps—like pausing to take a deep breath, reaching out to someone you trust, or going for a mindful walk—can have a powerful impact. 🌿

Remember: it’s not about being perfect. It’s about finding what works for you and practicing it consistently.

If you or someone you know could use support, we’re here to help. Call Child & Family Services of Saginaw at (989) 790-7500 or email intake@cfs-saginaw.org
to schedule an appointment.

You don’t have to go through this alone—reach out today. 💙
