ONE MEMBER’S EXPERIENCE

“I find it rewarding to see how much we have accomplished and the good things we have done to help the children, parents and staff at Maryvale”

A FAMILY MEMBER’S STORY

“My son had used the day treatment program, the Outreach Program and Psychology support at Maryvale. I appreciated all the support and kindness that we received during the time we used Maryvale’s services. I had asked if there was a way to give back or to offer support to Maryvale in any way as a thank you. I was told there was a Family Engagement Committee and they were always looking for new members to help with planning, support and ideas to improve Maryvale’s programs. Maryvale needs feedback and ideas from the families and clients to improve and keep offering excellent services.

The once a month Zoom meetings are little to give for the support our family has received for our son. I learn something new each time and enjoy the relationships that have developed with other parents and the staff. I feel the caregivers give meaningful suggestions and that our opinions are important to help make Maryvale an even better place.”
