HOW WE CAN HELP
Seeking counselling services or parent resources? Please visit our Family Counselling Centre, Ontario Early Years programs or child care centres to find out what resources are available to you and your children. Many of our services are free of charge or based on income.
Concerned about a child or family in your community? Please call us if you feel that a child may be at risk for abuse or neglect. You can call FACS 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your call can be anonymous and you need only to share your concerns. 96% of the children we serve remain safely in the care of their parents. Our rate of admission to foster care is less than 4%.
Want to get involved? FACS Niagara welcomes the participation of the community in our mission. Be a foster parent. Adopt. Volunteer. Serve on our Board of Directors with FACS or our charitable Foundation. Make a donation, participate in an event or fundraise on our behalf.
Safe Kids. Strong Families. Youth and Adults at their Best.
