During this time of uncertainty, it is so important that we each take measures to protect not just our physical health, but also our mental health. It is normal for our children to feel unsettled and concerned for themselves, their family, and friends. Social distancing is not the same as isolation, and it is important to keep connected. Family & Children's Aid is available to deliver services using video and phone conferencing to support our community during this difficult time. Please call us!
