Children's Aid Society - Keeping Families Together

When you call us to report your concerns about a child's safety and well-being, we begin to gather detailed information about the situation. This includes an Intake worker speaking with the child, parents, school officials etc., and determining the supports a family may need. If we determine that the referral is of a non-severe nature, we will assist the family by seeking helpful support services such as crisis management, mental health treatment, counselling, training in safe parenting skills, and other supports to prevent child abuse and neglect. Since children are adversely impacted by violence within the home, we will also be looking for signs of woman abuse in order to provide referrals and support in this area. The Intake Unit conducts investigations and assessments in accordance with the standards set out by the Ontario Child, Youth, and Family Services Act and the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services. A Differential Model of Services is used which includes customized interventions, which best suit, the child and family's needs. The Agency also provides Emergency after-hours services to handle referrals 24 hours per day in Thunder Bay and our three district offices of Nipigon, Geraldton and Marathon.
