Our Approach
At Marillac Place, our team is wholeheartedly committed to providing consistent support to the families we serve, helping them navigate their journey towards increased confidence and self-sufficiency. We provide crucial support to clients grappling with complex issues and strive to deliver person-centered, trauma-informed and evidence-based care. We guide our clients towards developing healthy relationships and encourage engagement in vital programs such as life skills, continued education, and mental health counselling. This commitment persists through our highly successful AfterCare program, which aims to support a smooth transition from residency at Marillac Place to independent living.
