About the Foundation

 

Children’s Centre Foundation Thunder Bay was established in 2004 as a registered charity, with the purpose of funding mental health education and prevention initiatives. Since then, the Foundation has evolved and now includes funding for developmental services as well as behavioural programs available through Children's Centre Thunder Bay.

Children’s Centre Foundation works closely with Children’s Centre Thunder Bay to support programs and services that:

  • Improve child and youth mental health

  • Address children's developmental, social, and behavioural needs

  • Strengthen the family's capacity to parent children and

  • Build the community's capacity to support children, youth and families

 

 

What we do

 

Children's Centre Foundation supports numerous initiatives in the community, including preventative programs, awareness campaigns, and health education for care givers. These initiatives ensure resources are available for *families when and where they are needed the most.


Through the last 19 years, our partnerships with organizations, businesses, and individuals we engage, educate and enrich have helped increased our community’s capacity to support one another.
