A family for Mary...

Mary needs a family that will be able to provide structure and stability while also allowing her to have his space and autonomy. A family for Mary needs to understand the impact of extensive trauma & able to maintain healthy boundaries. This family will also need to provide good, clear communication. It would be ideal for Mary to be the only youth in the household. A prospective family will need to be supportive of on-going contact with a variety of biological family members, specifically her siblings and grandparents.

If you have a home study, and want to explore if you’d be a good family for this youth, please have your worker contact Ampersand Families.
