WHO WE SUPPORT

Every family has a story. Yours matters.

Our intended focus is children and youth under 16 and their caregivers, especially families involved with—or at risk of—child welfare intervention.

  • Children and youth who have experienced trauma or loss
  • Young people with developmental or neurodiverse needs
  • Foster, kinship and adoptive families
  • Caregivers experiencing stress or burnout

How We Help Families

Every family's story is different. Here are a few examples of situations where Mercy Youth Respite can offer meaningful, trauma-informed support.

Caregivers Needing a Pause

A foster or kinship caregiver supporting a child with complex needs may be running on empty. Planned respite gives them time to rest and recharge, while their child enjoys a safe, nurturing stay with caring professionals.

Youth Healing from Trauma

A young person navigating the effects of trauma may need extra stability during a difficult season. Our team provides consistent, compassionate care that helps them feel secure, while the family gains space to reconnect and heal.

Ready to find the support your family needs?

We are here to listen, understand, and provide a safe space for your child and a moment of rest for you.
