We Need Family Preservation
Program cuts, brought on by a $1.1-million deficit at Children's Aid Society of Algoma, could see more local children removed from their homes.
On April 12, CAS Algoma will lay off six workers and one
supervisor who make up an in-home program that helps at-risk children in
"open child protection families."
Removing supports from families that are at risk will only put
more children into care.
It is felt that not providing the funding that would keep open
programs like Family Preservation seems "shortsighted," on the part of
the Ministry of Child and Youth Services.
I know that it isn't just CAS Algoma that is experiencing these cut backs either. It's happening all over.
This is setting CAS back 10-15 years. Losing Family Preservation is going to cause more problems for both parents and the society. In the long run, the children that the agency is meant to protect are going to be the ones that are harmed by this cutback.
Let's pass the work and voice are concerns. Please sign in support for your local CAS Family Preservation programs.
