Foster Pride with Les Brown - DVD
Les Brown delivers a message of hope and possibility as he speaks to foster youth and families during the 2005 Foster Pride Celebration sponsored by For A Child's H.E.A.R.T., Inc. in Vallejo, California.
Mr. Brown shares his challenges and triumphs of growing up as a foster/adoptive child in a single-parent foster/adoptive family of seven children; and how despite his mischievous and "acting out" behaviors, being labeled "Educable Mentally Retarded" and teased by other children, the unconditional love of his adoptive mother, Ms. Mamie Brown, and the support of "the village" instilled in him the courage to dream and step into the greatness of the man who motivates the world today.
Every youth who has or desires to have a dream, and every adult who wonders if anything good will come out of your "labor" of love, you will be inspired by this message. He gives us all to know that it's possible to "Live Our Dreams" and that it's hard, but it's worth it!
Voices For A Child's Heart - CD
Les Brown brings you to laughter and tears as he shares his experiences, thoughts and insights about growing up as one of seven foster/adoptive children of ms. Mamie Brown.
Fost/adoptive parent, Licensed Marriage, Family, & Child Therapist, Founder/Director of For A Child's H.E.A.R.T., Inc., and host of "Voices For A Child'sHeart" radio program, Ms. Evelyn Polk asks Mr. Brown some candid questions to which he responds openly, with comments every foster/adoptive and even biological parent needs to hear.
The responses are sure to give you encouragement and hope as you face the joys and challenges of parenting, doing something special "for a child's heart."

This CD brings together an awesome mixture of musical artists whose artistry will appeal to the likings of both young and "mature" fans of Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Blues, Pop and and Hip-Hop, all with a POSITIVE message.
The idea/purpose of the compilation benefit CD is to promote a cross-generational sharing of music appreciation and family listening by creating an eclectic mixture of music styles/genres which will appeal to all family members, fostering a sense of togetherness, and creating positive childhood and family memories and associations.
At the same time, purchase of this CD will generate funds for the provision of services to foster/adoptive youth and families (counseling, mentoring, tutoring, academic and transitional living scholarships, music and creative arts, to name a few); and raise awareness and support of the ongoing challenges/needs of children right here in our own communities and the adults who care for them.

"Friends With Heart: We Are The Village-Volume 1"
Is a memoir in which "Ms. Evelyn" shares the joys and pains of counseling, mentoring, parenting, and caring for youth impacted by the circumstances of separation from their biological parents. Her experiences and insights will provide a different perspective and understanding of the mind and "heart set" that underlies the sense of indifference, resistance, anger, and/or rejection they may experience from the children/youth they are reaching out to.
She, and some of the youth (now adults) she's worked with, share some of the ways in which she was able to make heart connections which helped them to embrace and channel their pain into dreams; as well as the struggles she endured in loving the sons she brought into her heart and her home.
Readers will be able to identify, validate, and learn how to take care of their own emotions and well-being, and not lose their minds or selves in the process of trying to "be the village" that raises a child and loves them through.
" In this videotaped interview, conducted by Evelyn Polk, a licensed Marriage, Family & Child Therapist, Dan Smith shares how refusing to remain silent can empower survivors of childhood trauma (emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse) can begin to break through feelings of confusion, guilt and shame, and tap into and develop one's inner strengths, enabling them to walk in fulfillment of their life's purpose"
