TOUCH A LIFE.
CREATE A FUTURE.
Many children, youth, and families who come to us have little hope that their lives can be different from their experiences of being oppressed, disenfranchised, labeled, blamed or forgotten. Hope alone cannot change this but we know that life is not worth living without it.
If we plant a seed in the middle of a dry summer and it fails to grow,do we ask "what is wrong with that seed?" No, we look around and ask ourselves how we can change the ecology so the seed can grow. In all our services, we build hope-filled ecologies where children and youth have multiple opportunities to meet their developmental needs. While research has shown that hope contributes 15% to therapeutic change, we know that we cannot live on it alone. Become a foster parent, volunteer or donate to UMFS.
