The Strong Home Project was created to address a critical gap in youth and family support systems. Far too often, families reach moments of crisis without the right supports in place, and youth are removed from their homes as a response rather than a last resort. While intended to protect, this approach frequently disrupts relationships, weakens family bonds, and fails to create meaningful, long-term change.Our mission is to prevent unnecessary apprehension or relocation by bringing individualized, holistic supports directly into the family home. By working with youth, parents, and caregivers together, the Strong Home Project focuses on strengthening the entire family system so healing, growth, and stability can take root where they matter most.
