Kennedy House Youth Services Inc.
changing lives • forging futures
Do you know a young person in crisis? Are you one?
Welcome to Kennedy House, where troubled children and youth are cared for, assisted, and moved forward to a brighter future. Dedicated staff, individualized programming, home-like, and state-of-the-art facilities make Kennedy House the place to turn when other solutions have failed.
Regardless what's been tried. Whatever the situation. Irrespective of the label.
Troubled • Delinquent • Dysfunctional • Neglected • Aggressive • Disturbed
Conflicted • Resistant • Distrustful • Violent • Abusive • Irresponsible
Using good common sense, "at home values", experienced, good judgement, current and best practices, Ministry mandates, legislation, and directives, our staff go the "extra mile" for kids in our care…and don't give up on them. Our concern for them, and our interest in them, is obvious and tangible.
Working with the hardest to place youth, we help:
• attend to their needs
• stabilize their behavior
• resolve their difficulties
|
• develop their skills
• return them to the community
• equip them to lead a productive life
|
Our youth are referred to us from local Children’s Aid Societies and the provincial Youth Justice System. We offer the prospect of positive change through:
- effective residential treatment programs
- specialized services - residential, youth custody and day treatment
- psychiatric consultation
- highly trained, engaged, motivated and caring staff
- life skills instruction
- daily clinical care
- culturally competent programming
|
With professional intervention and a positive environment, we believe the youth of today can achieve their dreams of tomorrow.
