Respite Care @ Bridge to Care

Bridge to Care Child and Family Services focuses on centralized and coordinated respite service that provides temporary relief for overwhelmed families or caregivers who are supporting children/youth with complex mental health needs.This service is designed to offer relief to the family/caregiver who is temporarily overwhelmed with caring for a child/youth with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties, in order to preserve and support the existing home placement. Within the program, there are a wide range of flexible respite options: in-home relief, weekly outings, and short term out-of-home placements for children of families during critical moments of stress.
