Amani Names New Family Support Program Manager

Amani Family Services has hired MaryAnn Goodwell as the new Family Support Program Manager. Goodwell has spent her career serving children and families across Indiana. 

“I am super excited to start this journey at Amani Family Services. I love working with and cheering for the “underdogs” in life and sports. Encouraging personal growth and fostering a spirit of belonging is how I strive to operate each day,” says Goodwell. 

Among her prior program experience, Goodwell has worked extensively training staff in programs such as Motivational Interviewing, Advanced Child Abuse and Neglect, Engaging Fathers and 24/7 Dad. She has a strong background in engaging clients and staff, along with a passion for leading, supporting, and encouraging families as they work toward their full potential.
