A Vision for Brighter Futures

A Vision for Brighter Futures

Our vision is to support children’s brighter futures by building two new specialized homes that will be responsive to their needs, with access to outdoor play areas and land-based therapeutic recreation spaces. The homes will be supported by a Chisholm hub that will offer our after-school literacy program, trauma informed care group training, and will be a resource for our community.

Why This Investment Is Needed

Children across Nova Scotia continue to face complex issues within the family such as neglect, abuse, and family instability. Many experience complex trauma early in life. These experiences can shape emotional development, learning, and long-term wellbeing. Demand for home based care, trauma-informed programming, and literacy supports continues to grow across Nova Scotia. Chisholm’s current facilities limit capacity and flexibility at a time when children’s needs are becoming more complex. The Brighter Futures campus represents a long-term investment in stability, prevention, and community-based care.
