// KEY SERVICES PROVIDED

At Vista Maria, they know it takes a fearless heart to overcome the challenges of abuse and trauma and move forward. The unwavering courage, limitless love, and positive vision that was embodied in 1883 by the organization’s founder, Sr. Mary Euphrasia, is carried on today by each member of the Vista Maria team. What began as a home for girls and women in need has evolved to encompass mental health services, foster care and adoption, independent living, and secure care for survivors of human trafficking, plus education, after-school care, and advocacy for the welfare of children.

Vista Maria provides residential mental health treatment to adolescent aged girls on its 37-acre campus located in Dearborn Heights. Each year they serve approximately 100 young women as they heal from abuse, trauma, and neglect.

Mentors meet with Vista Maria clients/mentees for one hour, every week. Young people thrive knowing there are caring community members supporting them. Consider becoming a mentor. Visit vistamaria.org to find out more!
