Mandate
The Centre for
Family, Child and Adolescent Advancement is a private non-profit
organization whose mandate it is to provide support services to
parents and their children, who are at risk for long term adjustment
concerns. More specifically, the Centre focuses upon assisting parents
who have known emotional or cognitive conditions, or whose children
are otherwise at risk, to acquire effective parenting skills, and
to buffer the potential ill effects of the parent's condition upon
their children.
The Centre also
provides support to non-custodial parents towards promoting their
consistent, active and healthy parental involvement in the lives
of their children. The Centre works with at-risk children/adolescents
towards identifying and rehabilitating the academic, cognitive,
emotional, psychosocial and familial origins of their distress/dysfunction.
Through interpreting and funding research studies, the Centre advocates
for social policy changes, which are believed to prevent and curb
the effects of child poverty, neglect and complex parenting issues.
