At the Hudson Bay Family and Support Centre, our Mission is to provide families and communities the freedom of choices, where people are equally valued. We also provide tools to enhance growing, encourage violence-free living and promote healthier tomorrows.
QUICK EXIT
Hope
Sometimes families lose hope when they experience problems or setbacks. We help them see the possibilities again by finding achievable ways to overcome challenges, celebrating their successes along the way, and building their
self-confidence.
Strength
Every family has a unique set of skills and strengths. We nurture those qualities within individuals, families and communities to help them become even stronger when facing difficult situations. We empower them to use their strength to rebound from hardships and move forward positively.
Respect
We do not judge families. We strive to support them wherever they are and respect whatever decisions they make. We never make decisions for families, nor do we claim to have all the answers. We believe each family controls their future; they decide what needs to be done and we work with them to determine how to get there.
Equality
We value all cultures and beliefs. We provide respectful feedback, information, choices that reflect their values and belief system and allow them to make informed decisions.
Understanding
We understand that families have done the best they can with the resources, support, and information they had at the time. Sometimes, previous experiences and fear may lead to harmful behaviors. Ultimately, parents want their children to be healthy and productive, but not everyone knows how to make this happen. We work with families to understand their unique situations and we offer guidance where they would like to see change.
Trust
Many families come to us with little confidence and trust in others, based on previous negative experiences. We earn their trust by fully understanding their circumstances, offering objective, helpful advice based on their needs and letting them be in charge of their decisions.
Commitment
We are committed to building and maintaining positive, objective relationships with every family. If we can't help, we refer people to other organizations or services that may better meet their needs.
Community
We promote safely integrating children and family into home and community life. We work closely with immediate and extended families, schools, and community organizations to encourage the best support network for a child or family.
