Programs

We have many programs to help support you.

Family Support Program

The Family Support Program promotes the healthy development of families and children so they may achieve their full potential. This Program is a service providing intensive in-home support to children and families who are receiving Family and Youth Services. The main emphasis is on maintaining the family unit by providing a variety of supportive services which prevent the children’s admission to care. The Family Support Services are intended to be time-limited and outcome orientated.

Diversion Support Program

The Diversion Program is an extension of our Family Support Program. The purpose of this program is to promote healthy parenting and household living in families before the become involved with Family and Youth Services, It is a voluntary preventative support service that can be accessed through referral or personal request.
