ABOUT AMBROSE PLACE MKE
Ambrose Place is a behavioral health and family support service agency located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
We focus on the importance of developing skills for self-sufficiency, mental and behavioral health education, and emotional stability. We offer support to clients diagnosed with mental health conditions (starting from age 12) so that they may successfully transition into a healthy and stable adult lifestyle without requiring aggressive behavioral health intervention.
Our Transitional Services program focuses on future planning and goal setting for clients ages 18-24 and includes assisting clients with securing stable employment and housing, life skills, navigating all facets of the community and ongoing psycho-education. Our program goals encourage youth to maintain emotional stability, learn coping strategies, and self-manage their mental health.
