Working at HPCAS has reinforced Corissa's faith in people's inherent goodness. "Working here has taught me that people are compassionate and kind," Corissa shares. "Our staff truly value the individual strengths of families and help build on those through listening to families and their current needs."
When we asked Corissa what makes the HPCAS approach different from traditional child welfare, the response was straightforward: "We see a future of our community where the need for crisis intervention is rarely needed. Our focus has successfully shifted to community engagement initiatives as well as prevention supports for families." It's this vision that helps dispel misconceptions about our work.
When it comes to busting myths about child welfare, Corissa is clear: "The preference of the Agency, if a child does need to come into care, is not the adoption or foster care routes. The organization, as well as the individuals who work here, want to see children and youth with their kin."
This perspective – keeping families together and building on their strengths – is at the heart of everything we do. Corissa, we're so proud to have you on our team and grateful for your true commitment to celebrating every child exactly as they are! 💚
