A sample of the work we do includes: - Providing counselling and other intervention services for families in crisis; - Facilitating kinship and foster care for vulnerable children; - Supporting adults and youth with disabilities; - Developing and delivering residential care programs for vulnerable individuals, including youth, those with chronic illness, and those challenged by addictions; - Providing shelter for women and children escaping family violence; - Assisting newcomers to Canada with ongoing settlement supports.
