FamilyCompassWR.ca was created by members of the Children and Youth Planning Table (local service providers who work with children, youth and families in Waterloo Region). We heard from families and youth that knowing where to look for services and programs can be tough. The vision was to create one online starting point that would make it easier for families and youth (and others!) to navigate the options, as well as make it easier to find help when needed.
Today, FamilyCompassWR.ca offers the option to find information about general services for children and youth as well as specialized services that can help address developmental concerns. It also offers a link to resources designed for parents through the Parenting Now website.
The Children and Youth Planning Table gratefully acknowledges the support of all its member organizations for their help in developing this website.
