The clients Maria Dennis works with aspire to the things that all loving, devoted parents want for their children: good health, a safe home, success in school and success in life. “They want the best for their children like everyone does,” Dennis said. But as the family program coordinator for the Family Partnership of Frederick County, a division of the county’s Citizen Services division, Dennis recognizes the multitude of obstacles her clients must overcome in order to provide their children with these opportunities. Some are single parents; others have limited English language skills or education. Many report income that is above the federal poverty level but below the basic cost of living in Frederick County. Financial stresses, and in some cases, traumas from their own childhoods, can affect their ability to parent effectively.
