Today we're spotlighting Jody, our Program Manager!
Jody has this way of seeing community that really stands out – for her, community is not an accessory to our work, it's the foundation. She believes families do better when we help them reconnect with the supports that are …already around them.
"Families often already have the tools, they just need systems that trust and uplift them," Jody explains. Instead of trying to "fix" things, she focuses on partnering with families and recognizing what they're already bringing to the table.
One thing Jody's really passionate about? Changing how we talk about families in child welfare. "Families aren't 'broken' – they're navigating systemic barriers, trauma and lack of access, not lack of love and capability."
Jody, thank you for all you do, for seeing families' strengths and working alongside them every day. We're grateful to have you on our team!

Today we recognize International Day to Combat Islamophobia and stand against discrimination faced by Muslim communities.
Islamophobia affects families in our community, creating barriers to feeling safe, welcomed and included. Every child and family deserves to live free from prejudice …and fear.
We are deeply committed to ensuring our services are culturally safe for all families, including Muslim families who entrust us with their care.

An incredible milestone for our community, and we are so proud to be a part of it!
The United Way Perth-Huron's North Perth Access Centre is now open in Listowel, bringing HPCAS together with the Canadian Mental Health Association Huron Perth (CMHA), the Huron Perth Healthcare …Alliance, the Optimism Place and The Well Community Collective under one roof.
Bringing services together means fewer barriers and better support for the people we serve. As our Executive Director Kristian Wilson says, "Often times we're helping the same people, so we can do that together. It's a one-stop shop for folks to come to and receive support."
We are so grateful to the United Way of Perth-Huron for their vision and partnership in making this happen, and to the Municipality of North Perth and all the donors for their support. With community programs, a Youth Hub and affordable housing units on the way, this space is going to make a lasting difference right here in North Perth.
Thank you to Scott Miller and CTV News for sharing this story. Please watch the full feature (2:05) at the link in our bio @huronperthcas
