Family Engagement Committee

Family Engagement Committee

The Family Engagement Committee at Maryvale is a group of parents/guardians who have had experience with services provided at Maryvale. They share their thoughts and opinions and bring new ideas to help us provide a better experience for families receiving service. It provides an opportunity for caregivers to be involved and be a voice in the care and treatment for youth and families at Maryvale. It is a low-key group and no additional time commitment is required.

COMMITTEE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Some of our accomplishments over the past few years include:

Created an e-newsletter to enhance communications with families to stay in touch with Maryvale and the community.

Reviewed and made recommendations to streamline the admission process

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.”
