East York, Canada Abiona Centre Full time

**Abiona Centre (“the Centre”)** is an award-winning, accredited Children’s Mental Health Centre that is a multi-service, non-profit, unionized, community agency located in the east end of Toronto. The Centre is committed to nurturing empowerment, independence and growth for young pregnant and parenting women, children and families in a non-judgmental, inclusive environment by providing a residential care and treatment program; supportive transitional housing; on-site high school program, community housing support and referral services; and maternal infant mental health programs and services. We do this by working collaboratively as a multi-disciplinary team with community partners to provide holistic programs and support that respond to mental health, education and transitional needs. The Centre also operates an EarlyON Child and Family Centre and an Early Learning Centre. All the programs and services are open to families, young women and their children living in the broader community.

Reporting to the Supervisor, MIMH, the Early School-Age Development Coordinator (the “Coordinator”) will be at the forefront of the Kuumba Project (the “Project”), an essential infant and early childhood mental health initiative at Abiona Centre (the “Centre”). The project is designed for children aged 3-5 years within the Black, African Canadian, and racialized communities.

The Coordinator will take a collaborative approach with caregivers, educators and fellow professionals to craft and implement prevention and early intervention services that are both impactful and culturally sensitive. Operating within schools in Neighborhood Improvement Areas, including both ECPP/Section 23 and mainstream schools, the Coordinator will be pivotal in planning and executing programs that address the comprehensive developmental needs of young children, and provide vital support to meet the specific needs of their young parents. This role is not just about education and care, but to foster a nurturing environment that supports the entire family unit, aiding in the creation of a stronger, more resilient community.
