Who We Are Today
Chisholm Services for Children is an independent, community led Nova Scotia charity that provides trauma informed group living care, literacy supports, and caregiver training for children and families. Our work is shaped by evidence informed practice and community partnership.
Our origins. Chisholm was founded in 1890 by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd to support young women in need. In 2004, the Sisters formally transferred oversight to a community based Board of Directors, and they no longer have a presence in Nova Scotia.
Impact Highlights
The impact of our work is measured in the outcomes of the children we serve, supported by many community partners.
Our Team
Every day, the children we care for look to our team for guidance and support. Our dedicated and resilient team share their skills and compassion every day to ensure children feel supported and grow to build safe, healthy relationships. The saying that it takes a village to raise a child has never rung truer. From our child and youth care practitioners, LINKS literary instructors, student interns, our management team, and our volunteer boards of directors – Chisholm is a network of talented and caring professionals who believe in the children we support every day.
Accountability and Transparency
Chisholm is a registered charity (86003 2945 RR0001) dedicated to transparency and accountability to our many community partners and funders.
