Child Center Marygrove

Marygrove's independent living program includes scattered-site community-based apartments and houses where young adults, ages 17-20, live independently and receive support with educational, occupational, and mental wellness goals and life skills to help them stabilize their lives and transition to independence. Some residents are pregnant or parenting, so support services such as in-home parenting programs are offered to these young families. There is no live-in supervision, so youth must be able to practice advanced daily living skills such as preparing meals alone, following a schedule independently, and using public transportation for work and school. Young adults are required to either be working or going to school; many do both. In calendar year 2023, the program served 61 clients with 87% demonstrating progress on 50% of their treatment goals, 85% discharging to a less restrictive environment and 86% learning new or enhanced independent living skills, based on the ansel-casey life skills assessment.

Marygrove's therapeutic foster homes provide support to children and youth with emotional and behavioral issues in a family setting that encourages healthy growth and development. Foster parents help young people develop the skills that will help them transition back to their families, an adoptive home or transitional living. In calendar year 2023, the program served 12 clients, with 100% of clients demonstrating progress on 50% of their treatment goals, 100% maintaining stable/consistent placements and 80% discharging to a less restrictive environment.
