We know what works from our first-hand experience in supporting children and families in the child welfare system. But we are confronted daily with Ministry funding shortfalls and program pressures that do not seem to take into account what is actually happening in the field. There is tremendous change being imposed on the child welfare system and we witness the effects of these changes on the lives of our clients. The voices of our clients are not being heard. There is something we CAN do about this.
- A client falling through the cracks?
- The closure of a program that makes a difference?

Wear Black to Work
Please wear black to your workplace on the FIRST Wednesday
of each month. Let’s all stand together for child protection
services that we can be proud of. We know that investing in
prevention reduces the need for protection.
