Safe Families Kitchener Waterloo Cambridge

Historically the extended family or neighbours often stepped in to support parents by taking care of children for short periods of time. However, many urban families are socially isolated and their extended family is non-existent or not available, especially for those who are newcomers to Canada. The children in a family traumatized by crisis become especially at risk for neglect or abuse as their parents struggle to cope with crushing circumstances and emotions.

These parents are able to voluntarily place their child(ren) with Safe Families and retain custody during the placement. They can come from any background and be referred by a school, hospital, church, pregnancy centre, homeless shelter, child welfare agency, neighbour or may contact Safe Families themselves when in a time of crisis.

Safe Families volunteers serve without compensation and are motivated by the compassion and grace that they first received from Jesus Christ.
