Happy Easter Everyone

Infection rates in the child welfare sector have been low during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the ongoing delivery of in-person support when needed. That’s thanks to the hard work of child welfare staff across Ontario, who have adapted and been unwavering in their dedication to helping vulnerable children, youth, and families. We commend child welfare agencies and their staff across the province for continuing their critical work while doing their part to control the spread... of the virus. #TrulyDedicated #HPCAS #childwelfare #committment #safety #COVID19 #families #children #community #publichealth

Some things simply can’t be done virtually. That’s why child welfare staff continue to deliver critical in-person support when needed, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. They do this to ensure that the health, safety, wellness, and legal rights of children and youth are being met. Ontario’s child welfare staff are #TrulyDedicated, essential professionals who deserve our heartfelt thanks and appreciation.... #HPCAS #essentialworkers #appreciation #community #childwelfare #inperson #support

Child welfare staff deserve our heartfelt thanks for rising to the challenge of the pandemic. After pivoting online last spring, they have continued to adapt services. They are now using both virtual tools and in-person visits to support children, youth, and families. And they are doing it all while following public health protocols to keep people safe. #TrulyDedicated #HPCAS #pivotting #online #community #workingtogether #safety #COVID19 #publichealth #children #families

Orange Shirt Day represents a reminder to Canadians of the policies of forced removals of First Nations and Metis Children from their families and placement int...o residential schools. These policies were intentionally harmful and intended to end the languages, cultures and existence of the First People’s of Canada. The consequences live on in the lives of families to this day and continue to be perpetrated through the misuse of forced removal and placement into foster and institutional care of indigenous children.

Children's Aid Societies raise awareness about the importance of kin families during Kin Awareness Week, September 21-25 During Kin Awareness Week, Children's Aid Societies celebrate the families that step in and support children and youth while caregivers address the challenges they are facing. Kin support often means providing a safe and nurturing home, but it also includes informal supports like child care and transportation. Kin providers can be family members, but most people don't realize they can also be people who simply have an emotional connection to the child or youth. Learn more about how kin families keep kids connected here.
