Last year, we supported more than 16,000 young people and families nationwide through a wide range of high-impact programs and services delivered in partnership with child- and youth-serving agencies across Canada.
Children and youth impacted by the child welfare system face interconnected challenges that require interconnected solutions. That’s why we invest in four evidence-informed focus areas designed to improve outcomes and help young people move from survival toward healing, stability, and long-term success.
Our Goal: Children and youth have a caring adult in their corner — a mentor, caregiver, or ally — providing the stability and support they need to thrive.
Programs in this area include:
