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 “Therapeutic Foster Care” program at The Family Centre is a unique approach to foster care that emphasizes the therapeutic needs of youth, matches caregivers with therapeutic supervisors, and empowers these individuals to provide safe home environments for children and youth whose trauma-based needs cannot be adequately provided for in traditional foster or group care. The goal of the program is for youth to have increased family and cultural connections and become reunified with their family or community.

The Therapeutic Supervisor is involved in the training, equipping, and supervision of the caregivers. Supervisors in this program provide support for caregivers of marginalized youth ages 13-17 who have Children’s Services involvement. This includes a significant proportion of Urban Indigenous, First Nations, Metis, and Inuit individuals, refugees and first-generation Canadians, and 2SLGBTQ+ individuals that have experienced the impacts of colonization, trauma, and multigenerational abuse and neglect.
