Our intention is to create a healthy organization that is intelligent in its response to community issues and intentional about our respectful treatment of each other. We have a strong focus on Trauma Informed Care for the communities we support, as well as our staff teams. The Family Centre strives to hire a diverse team of employees, reflecting the diverse communities we support.

**Mission**:
The Family Centre exists to support families and children to help them flourish and to help people engage with one another in order to promote healthy, safe, and economically viable communities.

**Vision**:
Healthy families in healthy communities.

**The Role**:
The Family Centre is looking for a motivated and highly skilled individual who is interested in challenging frontline social work. The Youth Connector service was conceived to support furthering lifelong connections for youth and young adults receiving services from Children Services. Often these youth are disconnected from their families, communities and culture, and may be engaged in high risk activities including addiction, criminal justice involvement, sexual exploitation and unhealthy intimate partner relationships. The Youth Connector focuses on developing therapeutic relationships with the youth in order to increase their number of positive experiences, thereby diminishing the negative impacts of trauma. Youth are supported in developing a support network that enriches relationship, attachment, stability and belonging for themselves and when applicable, their children. Youth who have children, or become pregnant, require additional support as they may not have positive parent-child experiences or healthy attachment. Youth Connectors encourage interdependence and community integration through the development of life skills necessary to pursue education and occupation, manage finances, communicate effectively, resolve conflict, maintain housing, access community resources, recreation and hobbies.
