Robin and her family share their personal story in this incredible episode!

Did you know 27% of Canadians report experiencing physical or sexual abuse before the age of 15?

This past year alone, we supported 1,088 child and youth victims of abuse and crime, and 827 caregivers, in Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Wellington County.

When we walk with young survivors and their families through the justice system, their trauma is reduced, healing begins, and futures become much brighter.

What is it like for the children we support? Laura Cook sheds some light in this video.

It was wonderful having representatives from the OCC CAR CLUB - "Old Chrysler Corporation Car Club" - Ontario Canada bring 46 stuffed animals to our office last week! Pictured are Brian Sharpe (on left in top photo) and Ray Durham (on right). The #stuffies they delivered will provide immeasurable comfort to children who receive our supports. 🧸We're grateful this same car club gave $1,000 in proceeds from the 2024 edition of their amazing annual event, "Cruisin' to Heidelberg". These #Mopar enthusiasts have been doing incredible good in the #community since 1979. We look forward to partnering more to help local kids and families experience healing and brighter futures! 🩵 ... See MoreSee Less
