Our professional staff develop programs that are tailor-made to meet the specific and varied needs of individual family members. Great emphasis is placed on ensuring that all services are provided to our clients in their own communities to maintain close family contact. Kinark is one of the largest and most respected child and family counselling services in Ontario. A non-profit organization established in 1984, it is funded by the Government of Ontario and through private and corporate donations. We operate six Program Centres in Ontario at the request of the Ministry of Community and Social Services.
Every child is a unique human being with basic human needs.
We believe services for children must be efficient and effective. The highest standard of ethics must be maintained in our relationships with children, families, staff and communities. Children have great adaptive capacity and resiliency which enables them to overcome hardship, abuse and neglect. We must never give up on children no matter how difficult the problem, no matter how serious the issue we will do our best to make a positive difference in their lives. Children s difficulties should be treated in a normalized living environment with an orientation towards health, assisting them to develop to their fullest potential.
