THE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION

The Children's Foundation (TCF) is an established and leading non-profit organization with a budget of $6.6 million and 70+ unionized staff specializing in services for children, primarily between the ages of 5-12, and their families.

Incorporated in 1957, and with a mission of "improving lives by helping children and their families navigate complex challenges ," TCF provides services to over 550 families per year through two main locations in Vancouver and Surrey, as well as throughout the Lower Mainland.

TCF employs a professional staff led by a seasoned and dedicated Executive team, and a talented, diverse, and committed Board of Directors governs the organization.

Services include trauma-informed clinical counselling, family preservation, a family development centre, parent education, respite for children with autism, professional assessments and training, and foster care support.

The organization works closely with families, assessing their needs and bringing hope and help to them, both individually and in groups, to teach, coach, and support them so they can be the best resource for their child's development.

Services are delivered in close collaboration with government agencies and service providers such as the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Vancouver Coastal Health, and the Surrey School District.

TCF's organizational culture promotes open communication, teamwork, and high ethical and performance standards, and the organization has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) since 2008.
