About this service
We provide safe, temporary out-of-home placement for children who have nowhere else to turn. Children are matched with skilled caregivers who provide a family-based environment to nurture each child and stabilize behaviours until they can return home.
Children First serves children who are unable to live with their family of origin. The program receives children and youth up to 17 years of age, of any race or cultural background.
Most children who come into care return to their birth families. These children need foster families willing to provide them with a loving and stable temporary family until issues are resolved and the children can return home.
Other children come into care with a high probability of becoming permanent wards. Ideally, these children are placed immediately into foster families who are able and willing to adopt them when they cannot return home, so that the childs first foster placement is also their last.
Who can use it?
Children who are unable to live with their family of origin
