COMMUNITY
FAMILY DEVELOPMENT
Credo Aylward House builds upon the parenting/family programme of Credo Center. This is a vital part of our efforts at reintegration. Involvement of parents and family members in their youth's development is fundamental to Credo's operation.
Aylward House seeks to fulfil its role as a catalyst in Transitional Housing and to produce young men worthy of taking their place as disciplined, employable citizens. It is to be expected that with a dynamic programme of activities and independent living skills, the sometimes unfortunate living situations confronting our young people will be lessened.
