A PARTNERSHIP
The Batshaw Youth and Family Centres Foundation is a registered charity that supports and complements the work of the Batshaw Youth and Family Centres (as of April 1, 2015, part of the Centre Intégré Universitaire de services de santé et services sociaux de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal (CIUSSS-ODIM)).
The Batshaw Youth & Family Centres Foundation funds programs that provide emergency response, personal development supports and improved quality of life to the diverse children, youth and families who are, or have been, clients of the Youth Protection and Youth Program services of CIUSSS-ODIM that are given primarily in English. We believe they deserve tools and opportunities that empower them to unlock their potential and achieve success now and in the future.
Our programs complement and supplement those funded by the government and provided by the staff of the CIUSSS-ODIM.
In the public place, we provide information and advocate for new and better supports that respond to the challenges faced by these children and families. We believe in them.
