Children, Youth and Families (CY&F)

Providing support for families who have children and youth with special needs.

A developmental delay may affect a child’s physical, cognitive, communicative, social, emotional, and/or behavioral development.  We enjoy working as a team to identify developmental goals and determine strategies to support progress towards those goals.  We provide ongoing support to parents, caregivers, and their children while promoting inclusive environments, referrals to professionals, and other community resources.  Parents and caregivers are key partners in all of our programs to ensure their child has the best opportunity to develop to their fullest potential.  Our Children’s Services Programs are primarily funded by the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).
