Sometimes parents and family members need a break from parental responsibilities to focus on their own wellbeing and healing. 

Our Community Caregivers Team seeks to help children, families and communities by finding familial supports to care for children until the parents or families are able to reunite. 

Our Community Caregivers workers are actively engaged in shifting away from the 'foster system' model — and instead, focus on supporting extended family and community members to care for young people. This helps ensure that family, community and cultural connections remain intact. By March 2022, we had a total of 26 kinship homes, 11 Indigenous foster homes and 6 non-Indigenous foster homes.
