“We’re building stronger bridges between families and services.” Our partnership with Mishka Social Services continues to thrive – thanks to the incredible work of cultural brokers who help newcomer and culturally diverse families navigate systems with trust and care.

Fostering is not just about providing a home – it's about being there to care. At HCFS, we’re committed to finding foster caregivers who reflect the diverse identities and lived experiences of the children and youth we serve.

Reminder, our office will be closed on Tuesday, July 1 for Canada Day. We will re-open on Wednesday, July 2. If you have concerns about the safety and wellbeing of a child or youth, give us a call at (905) 522-1121, we're available to take your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“It is so important to know who you are.” Devon’s Principle ensures every Indigenous child in care has the right to return to their ancestral land. Callie’s journey home to Canupawakpa Dakota Nation is a powerful reminder of the healing that comes from cultural connections.

It has come to our attention that a Yellowpages ad circulating on social media incorrectly states that Hamilton Child and Family Supports (HCFS) provides childcare services. We would like to clarify that this information is incorrect. HCFS does not offer daycare services.

Wishing all of our followers a Happy Pride Month! HCFS recognizes the vibrant, diverse and intersectional communities falling within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, especially when children and young persons are in contact with the child welfare system.

We are currently seeking a skilled and committed individual to join our team as a Child Protection Worker. HCFS is dedicated to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of the community it serves.

We know you may have questions about contacting us or when a child and family might require our services. Visit our website to view our frequently asked questions about our organization: hamiltoncfs.ca/resources/faq… #HamOnt #TheretoCare

May 5 is the National Day of awareness and remembrance for the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people (MMIWG2S), also known as "Red Dress Day," coined by Métis artist Jaime Black as "an aesthetic response to this critical national issue."

Happy National Volunteer Week! This year the theme is "Volunteers Make Waves" 🌊 It highlights the power, impact and importance of individual and collective volunteer efforts across Canada.

In celebration of Administrative Professionals Day on Wednesday, April 23rd, we would like to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of our administrative staff.

We all share a responsibility to protect children from harm, this includes situations where children have been, or are at risk of being, abused or neglected in their own home or when they are victims of sex trafficking.

Volunteers are valued members of our team! Each day, volunteers give their time to make a difference in the lives of children, youth, and their families. Visit our website to check out our current openings: buff.ly/OE6mHpR #HamOnt #Volunteering
