Healthy Heart Healthy Home

About HHHH

This program is designed to support Foster Care Homes, Kinship Homes, and high-risk families by offering services that help stabilize the home environment.

Our goal is to give caregivers, foster parents, and kin the tools and resources they need to manage daily challenges and prevent disruptions in placements.

We also focus on helping children and youth build stronger, healthier connections with their caregivers. We use evidence based techniques like CBT, art based, play based techniques to improve emotional regulation and improve behaviours.

With our support, we aim to create a nurturing and stable home where both caregivers and children can thrive.
