What We Do

The Relatives keeps kids safe and families together while preparing youth and young adults to become healthy, productive, engaged members of the community.
We aim to be a Relative to the vulnerable youth and young adults in our community, by enabling them to achieve independence through comprehensive services tailored to their individualized needs, in a space where they feel loved, supported and accepted as their authentic selves.

For almost 50 years, The Relatives has provided young people in crisis with:

  • Relief in place of Despair
  • Acceptance in place of Rejection
  • Empowerment in place of Helplessness
