Supportive Living
The Supportive Living Program (SLP) provides life skills support for youth who are permanent wards of the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and on Youth Agreements. Working on an individual and group basis, we support youth to assume responsibility and achieve successful independent living.
We focus on providing youth with hands on experience, knowledge, and support systems which encourage success. With support, we believe that each individual has the ability to effect positive change.
