What their customers say
Quotes from people at The Mockingbird Society's customers.
“It’s not creating or replicating activities that most children have, it’s actually kind of gone past that, and it’s creating such a kind of rich environment for these children that it’s significantly helping with overcoming the adversity that they’ve suffered in the past.”
“When I first heard the story (about Mockingbird) it was just an item on the agenda at a general meeting. Then you're just curious, it's something new from America. The idea is actually quite simple, you understand ... its usefulness. Many foster parents we speak to have a great need for support and network. I knew right away a number of families who did very well ...It also works very well in practice.”
“We found out that actually it’s okay not to be okay. You don’t always have to be okay all the time... The difference with Mockingbird is that we actually do feel like we’re cared about, and we do feel like we’re appreciated. Therefore, I think because of Mockingbird, we’re able to continue fostering.”
“[MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™] needs to be open to everyone. Every single foster parent should get matched up with someone when they start.”
“[We got] the support we needed [from Mockingbird]. At one point I said the child had to go, I couldn’t deal with her behaviors and we got the call that we were part of [MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™] and [the Hub Home foster parent] was able to help us. From her working with me we ended up keeping that child until she went home.”

“Success means that the children absolutely feel part of a family, an extended family. And they feel the benefits, not only whilst being part of a constellation, but also... when they leave, they still feel the benefits of it, having experienced what a good, healthy, happy family environment feels like. And they can take that into their relationships that they will go on to develop and grow, either in their personal lives but also in whatever else they do.”
“I feel with [MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™] you are never alone, whereas we felt very alone prior to it.”
“When you first meet them they’re not like rude to you saying “you can’t play with this” they’re really kind saying “you can join in this” “you can join in that”. It’s good. And they are also quite friendly because as soon as you get here, I just fit in because they’re asking me questions, what’s my name, do you want to play a game, do you want to come and do this.”
“This model works because it is based on relationships, and [we] are getting the support that [we] need when [we] need it.”
“Kids have made friends with each other within the constellation. Friends that they probably wouldn't have outside of the constellation.”
“Our constellation had a lot of loss, a lot of tears, a lot of hugs and a lot of empathy and a lot of support for each other throughout this whole situation.”
“At first it didn't seem like anything to me, but later it turned out to be fun. I didn't think it was a good idea to get together with other foster children, to be pigeonholed. But it wasn't that bad. (…) A lot of kids are younger, I mostly go with the older ones ...with peers. (…) Other than that, it didn't bring me much, But I can imagine that it does offer a lot to others. For example, for (my foster brother), he really does have new friends.”
“It's really nice if you have a network you can fall back on. You... need more people who understand you and understand your situation. This is what I find at Mockingbird.”
“I can talk about my experiences as a foster child without having to [explain] why I don't live with my biological parents.”
“Mockingbird is a place where you can belong. Mockingbird is a place where you will make new friends for life.”
