John Berry, DFPS Caseworker
[I am motivated by] the ability to make a difference in a parent or child's life. I believe this is my purpose, and there's nothing like working with parents and children despite the difficulty of the work I do each and every day.
“Mr. Berry worked for the agency for over 20 years, retired, but only stayed away for a year and a half. He missed the interaction with families and the positive impact that the agency can have on children and families. [He] goes above and beyond to meet his clients needs. He is a team player and is always on stand by to help his unit members. He is a great asset to my unit and brings years of experience and knowledge.”

Stacy Grant, Empower Case Manager
Because of [a] chance meeting, I discovered my life's purpose. Thirty years later, I realize how blessed I have been to be able to continue to work in the field of social services. …every child has a right to smile when they recall their childhood. If I can play a small role in improving a child's life, it could mean a positive change for that family for future generations.
“[Stacy] definitely models the way. [She] is an amazing case manager who shows so much care and attention to her children and families.”
