Why are you and I here?

Help 4 Families is designed to give you the encouragement, loving support, and open-handed approach towards your own restoration; the kind of help I longed to experience as a youngster. If you are searching for a listening ear and/or basic information for yourself, your minister and others, or basic help in locating a Christian counselor, as well as others who are ready and eager to help on-line, you have now found your helping hand. Welcome !

"My Daddy's Secret"

My Daddy's Secret is the sensitive-often heartbreaking-true story of the effects of a father's secret sexual addictions on his family-particularly on his oldest daughter, whom he made his confidante when she was just nine years old. Denise hopes this book will provide new insights into the pain such addictions inflict on families-and insight into God's amazing grace in healing those pains. Denise Shick, an author, speaker, and the Director of Help4Families, a Christian ministry that compassionately reaches out to family members and churches, bringing a broader understanding of the emotional pain and spiritual confusion that people face when a loved one has gender-identity issues.
