We're thrilled to share that our practice of supporting children, young people, parents, and Kin has improved considerably over the past several years. Huron-Perth Children's Aid Society has been investing in new learning supported by essential scientific breakthroughs and efforts to …learn from past practices that our community, First Nations members, parents and young people have shared that were harmful.
As a result, we are much more successful in supporting parents and their children to stay safely together and keeping children with Kin when living with a parent is impossible.
The changes in our practices have improved relationships with parents, young people, and Kin, which have led to our agency spending most of our time and resources preventing child maltreatment by supporting families facing significant hardship, working on family healing, and planning together for the future.
Foster care and residential care experiences have become increasingly rare for children and youth in the Huron Perth region, allowing us more time and resources to devote to children and youth in those placements, their caregivers, and family members.
We are improving partnerships with many other valuable children and family serving organizations as we become better at sharing responsibility in efforts that promote prevention, healing, and health, safety, and well-being of children, parents, and extended family members.
We are grateful for your patience, grace, and offers of support and teaching as we continue to get better at fulfilling our roles as part of our Societies' commitment to safe and thriving children living with their families.

Today we recognize International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a day to reflect, learn and take action against racism in all its forms.
Despite the progress that has been made, Indigenous peoples and racialized communities across Canada still experience discrimination. …This reality touches the families we work with and reminds us why our commitment to equity and justice is so important.
At Huron-Perth CAS, we see firsthand how systemic barriers can impact a family's wellbeing. Racial discrimination affects access to housing, education, healthcare and other services that all families deserve.
But how can we all make a difference?
• Speak up when we witness discrimination
• Lift the voices of Indigenous and racialized communities
• Advocate for anti-racist policies in our workplaces and communities
• Reflect on our own biases and how they might influence our actions
Huron-Perth CAS is deeply committed to confronting racism within the child welfare system and our larger community. True protection of children means ensuring all families have access to support, free from discrimination. We ask you to join us in this commitment, because creating a safer community for children means creating a more equitable world for all.

At Huron Perth Children's Aid Society, we do everything possible to ensure children, youth and families in the community have the support they need to thrive together, not separate.
Over the past two years, we are proud to have reduced the number of children in care in our community …by 30% and increased the number of children living with their extended family or kin to almost 60.
We believe that every child and youth belong with their family, or with their extended family or community. To hear more about our mission and its success in our community, please watch this short video with our Executive Director, Kristian Wilson.
