Our Speaker Today:
Suzy Schumer & Kedy Augustine "CHARLEE House"
CHARLEE is a foster care agency providing services in Miami-Dade County. CHARLEE has been providing services for abused, neglected, abandoned and at risk children for more than 28 years. The agency started with four group homes servicing approximately 30 children and has grown to one of the largest foster care agencies in Miami-Dade County servicing more than 1000 children and famillies per year.
Suzy Schumer, CHARLEE's Executive Director, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been working at CHARLEE since June 2008. Prior to joining CHARLEE Suzy worked at children's mental health agency in various capacities for almost 15 years, starting as a therapist and moving into management positions. Suzy introduced the CHARLEE program and mission and also introduced us to a student at FIU, Kedy, who benefited from the services CHARLEE offers.
Kedy explained his story to us and how CHARLEE helped him and his family escape from an abusive home, remain together, and ultimately empowered him to live without fear. For more information on the CHARLEE program please visit www.charlee.org
