Service to African-Canadian Families
My work experience within child welfare has deepened my understanding of the broader context of systems including education and criminal justice. This knowledge informs my ability to serve and support African-Canadian families involved in the child welfare system. My goal is to address the over-representation of African-Canadian families within the child welfare system, and I do so as follows:
- Provide therapeutic intervention to prevent the admission of children into care
- Reunify children with their families
- Support families through advocacy
- Accompaniment to meetings
