It’s Luau time!

The young ladies at Mary’s Mount Therapeutic Group Home are kicking off the summer! They set a table outside for games and they dressed up in their luau attire. It was a quick and easy way to get in the summertime spirit!

Summer Kick Off!

The foster families and pregnant/parenting teen mothers went to Baltimore’s National Aquarium and they all had a blast! Thanks to Baltimore’s National Aquarium for donating tickets to HHY! It was a great opportunity for some of them who had never gotten a chance to visit the aquarium to enjoy some of the local’s favorite activities. It was great for our foster families to connect during this outing, and for staff to spend some quality time with our families – all while enjoying the marine life!

Fun day at the Busch Gardens

Check out these photos of the boys from Avis Birely Therapeutic Group Home enjoying their day at Busch Gardens. They had such an amazing time enjoying their summer vacation!

Great Partnership with  @commthriveslab

Thank you to this INCREDIBLE team from UMD for coming to our office and training our staff on such an important topic. The research is beyond important! We are so glad to have such a great partnership with UMD Community Thrives Lab!

HHY Employee Highlight!

Ash Callaway,  Program Manager
I grew up in Princeton, TX and I have two little girls, 13 and 10 years old. I was in the Army for 8 years. Since then, I have worked in project Management as well as supporting adults with disabilities. I am passionate about outreach and caregiving work because I have lived with discrimination for being queer, disabled and having been homeless. It’s very important to me to help those that society overlooks and help to change attitudes so that no one is overlooked in the future.

Some interesting facts about me: I have worked as a romance story writer. I built a literal pirate raft and rode it down a river dressed as a pirate. When I was in Thailand, I drank cobra as part of a bonding ritual with Thai soldiers that I was training.
