ABOUT FAMILY SPIRIT

In October 2017, Marist180 and CatholicCare Sydney joined together in the space of community support, foster care and adoption. The aim of this partnership was to learn and grow from both agencies deep knowledge and expertise in the area of foster care, youth and family services. From this partnership, Family Spirit  (www.familyspirit.org) has grown. We believe that by working together, we can foster better outcomes for vulnerable children, young people and families and strengthen the resources and support that surrounds them.
