I am so grateful to have Miss Tamica Anderson as our social worker. She has been a wonderful support for our family, consistently demonstrating excellent critical thinking and communication skills. Whenever she speaks with my son, she offers insightful advice. She not only understands his struggles but shows genuine empathy and respect for his situation, which has made a huge difference in his progress.
