Restore Child and Youth Care is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and culturally respectful space for Indigenous children and youth . Our Group Care Living Services provide holistic, trauma-informed care that honors each child's background, identity, and individual needs.
Many of the children and youth in our care are navigating the pain of losing loved ones, separation from family or community, or historical and intergenerational trauma. Our therapist helps youth process and heal from these losses through talk therapy, cultural teachings, and when appropriate, ceremonies or land-based healing practices that honor those who have passed.
Using trauma-informed care, our therapist helps youth understand and manage overwhelming emotions, triggers, and stress.
Therapy is tailored to each individual, helping them build coping strategies and a sense of emotional resilience.
Through mentorship, teachings, and community connection, the therapist supports youth in reclaiming their Indigenous identity and pride.
We offer safe, home-like environments for Indigenous children and youth who are unable to live with their families. Our group homes provide 24/7 care and supervision, focusing on emotional safety, stability, and relationship building. Each home fosters a sense of belonging and community, with trained staff who prioritize healing through connection. Cultural practices, such as smudging, drumming, and storytelling, are integrated into daily life to help youth stay grounded in their heritage.
Restore provides immediate, short-term placements for Indigenous children and youth experiencing crises or needing urgent care. Our emergency placements offer a safe, supportive space where children can stabilize while longer-term plans are made. We work closely with Child and Family Services, Indigenous communities, and caregivers to ensure a culturally responsive and compassionate approach during these transitions
Some youth come to us with significant emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges. Our High Needs Support program is designed to meet these complex needs through individualized care plans, therapeutic support, and a team of experienced staff. We use trauma-informed, strength-based approaches that center around each child's experiences, with a focus on resilience, healing, and long-term wellness.
