Trauma-Informed Support

Every youth is assessed for trauma history and resilience. Our on-site Floor Social Worker oversees case planning, de-escalation strategies, and therapeutic check-ins, ensuring each child feels safe, seen, and heard. Staff and foster caregivers are fully trained in trauma-sensitive approaches.

Integrated Mental Health Services

A Registered Mental Health Nurse is on-site to provide day-to-day clinical oversight. From crisis response and medication management to therapy coordination and mental wellness workshops, we ensure timely, stigma-free access to care.

Educational Advocacy

Our Education Liaison works to stabilize school placements, advocate for IEPs, and provide enrichment. We partner with schools, tutors, and post-secondary programs to help each youth succeed academically and pursue future goals.

Life Skills & Transition Planning

Youth receive practical, real-world training in everything from budgeting and job readiness to meal planning and tenant rights. By age 16, every youth has an individualized transition plan — preparing them to exit care with a clear path and community connections.

Cultural Identity & Belonging

We provide culturally affirming care with tailored support for Indigenous, Black, racialized, newcomer, and 2SLGBTQ+ youth. Community partnerships and identity-affirming mentorship help youth stay connected to their roots and proud of who they are.
