The Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton (CAFH) is the only charity in the Region of Halton whose sole purpose is to provide support, relief and opportunities for children, youth and families involved in the child welfare system, the only one! 

As the charitable arm of the Halton Children’s Aid Society (Halton CAS), CAFH works to provide resources and advocacy for those who have experienced abuse, neglect, loss, unstable housing or other difficult circumstances. Committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those who need it most, CAFH offers opportunities for healing, growth, education and the chance to create happy childhood memories.

The programs supported by CAFH are additional to the basic protection work funded by the provincial government. Programs have been developed to enhance the work of Halton CAS by having a direct impact on the lives of those in need. However, these programs are not, or are not completely funded, by the government; therefore, donations from the community are relied upon to sustain the vital, additional resources provided.

Thank you for believing in the work we do!

With the support of the Moon in June sponsors and participants, the Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton helps children and youth build strong futures. All funds raised by the Moon in June Road Race go directly to providing care and support to these children in need, at the time they need it most. Our partnership with the Moon in June will help thousands of children and youth receive critical services they need to become self reliant and strong contributors to our community.

Radius Child and Youth Services has been providing help for children, youth and families for almost 40 years. We’ve accomplished great things and have been witness to thousands of inspiring stories of strength, resiliency and hope. But our work is far from done.

Radius is a specialized community-based agency that provides clinical assessment, counselling and support to children, youth and families affected by abuse, neglect and violence at no cost to their clients. With offices in Halton and Toronto, over 550 children and youth received counselling at Radius last year. Sadly, due to an increase in demand and a shortage of funding, many more children are placed on our waitlist for services. We believe that NO child should have to wait!

We are committed to supporting children on their journey to heal from trauma caused by abuse, and we focus on prevention and intervention that helps stop abuse before it happens.

Together, we can do even more. We must invest in research, education and training, prepare for the future and ensure MORE children and youth of the present receive the help they need.
