Family, Youth & Children Programs and Services

SPECIAL SERVICES AT HOME: The Special Services at Home (SSAH) program helps families who are caring for a child with developmental and/or physical disabilities. SSAH is funded and managed by the Ministry of Children Community and Social Services. Funding can be used to purchase supports and services for the child in home or in the community. SSAH funding can be self-administered or managed by CLPCW.

We use an integrated approach and provide support to children who are interested in getting involved in community-based programs.
