Trying to help families who really do not want to help themselves

As a non profit organization with limited staff and resources in AAC, we are used to going far and beyond to help any families that contact us. We realize that many families only want short term resolutions and not really trying to become self help and this made us re-think our game plan for the organization. The founder and myself have been through turmoil ourselves and understand what it takes to overcome a crisis; however we were unprepared for many families who just wanted to get to the next lag in their crisis and not really deal with the issues at hand. We realize also that there are plenty of families who want a better life and all they need is direction and support. These are the families that we are willing to help. We (as an organization) can only do so much. As the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can not make him drink"
