Mirabel provides a wide variety of innovative programs for children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to their parents’ illicit drug use. We also provide crisis support and parenting assistance for the kinship carers faced with the responsibility of raising the children. Mirabel’s vision is that every child has a childhood filled with love, hope and belonging. Mirabel is somewhere that I can
talk about anything and they understand. Lily (14)
If Mirabel did not exist I would feel helpless. James (17)
Mirabel has over 17 years’ experience assisting disadvantaged children and families to reach their full potential. We deliver professionally designed and evaluated services throughout Victoria and NSW. These services minimise the negative effects of parental drug use on children and strengthen the capacity of kinship carers to provide a stable and nurturing home. Our programs provide a long-term and holistic solution to a significant community problem – a problem that all levels of government acknowledge without currently being in a position to provide significant long-term financial support. We are the only organisation in Australia providing continual assistance for orphaned or abandoned children from birth to 18 years through our Programs for Kinship Families and our Programs for Children and Youth.
