This year’s theme, “Joy as …Resistance“, underscores the power of joy as an act of defiance against systemic oppression. Within Toronto’s Black communities, joy is more than a fleeting emotion—it is a profound expression of resilience, survival, and cultural strength.

The child and youth mental health sector, including our agency, is asking the government of Ontario for a funding increase in Budget 2025 of $142 million over three years to help meet current needs and to address increasing demands for mental health services.
– – – – – – – – – –
… In 2022, 4 of the top 10 reasons why children and youth aged 5-17 were hospitalized were for mental health challenges. Community-based care can prevent these hospital visits and ensure kids get the support they need earlier.
In Northern Ontario, some kids wait up to 600 days—19 months—for mental health care. Severe staff shortages and service gaps are leaving families without the help they need.
The political and economic climate doesn’t just affect adults—kids feel it too. Economic stress impacts the whole family. In tough times, investing in mental health care is more important than ever.
Every chance to intervene early—starting at birth—can change a child’s entire future for the better. Investing in early mental health care saves lives, strengthens families, and builds stronger communities for decades to come.
Children and youth from equity-deserving communities face additional barriers—like racism, discrimination, and cultural stigma—that prevent access to care. Let’s ensure every child gets the support they deserve.
Investing in community-based mental health care prevents children and youth from needing more expensive hospital care. It’s not just a moral imperative—it’s an economic one.
Community child and youth mental health professionals earn 20-50% less than their counterparts in hospitals and education. Closing this gap strengthens our economy and ensures kids get the care they need.
In 2019, parents missing work to care for their children’s mental health cost Ontario $420 million annually.
Investing in timely, community-based care isn’t just right—it’s essential for our economy.
Investing in child and youth mental health today prevents costly emergency room visits and hospitalizations tomorrow. Let’s build a system that works for Ontario families.

The child and youth mental health sector, including our agency, is asking the government of Ontario for a funding increase in Budget 2025 of $142 million over three years to help meet current needs and to address increasing demands for mental health services.

… In 2022, 4 of the top 10 reasons why children and youth aged 5-17 were hospitalized were for mental health challenges. Community-based care can prevent these hospital visits and ensure kids get the support they need earlier.

This coming election, remember that now is the time to transform Ontario’s child welfare system.
Our agency, along with the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies and member agencies are calling on all leaders, political parties, and candidates to commit to:
– Strengthen …social infrastructure, so children, youth, and families have timely, equitable access to integrated wraparound services
– Remove barriers to care and fully fund wraparound supports for children and youth presenting with complex needs, including access to specialized supports, services, and treatment.
– Increase financial assistance for kin and alternate caregivers, including family-based foster caregivers, to help keep up with the cost-of-living and inflationary pressures.
– Modernize the outdated funding formula for child welfare, so it focuses on early intervention, prevention, and connections to kin, culture, and community and responds to regional needs.
– Support youth who are transitioning to independence by permanently funding the Ready, Set, Go program. Ensure youth in transition have robust resources close to home and in their community to address disparities in outcomes, such as reducing homelessness and unemployment.

This year’s theme is Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations.
It reminds us of the importance of acknowledging and celebrating—year-round—the achievements and continued contributions of Black people to Canada in all their varied …diversities. The month-long observance also calls upon us to reflect on Canada’s painful history along with the distinct challenges that Black people in Canada continue to face in their daily lives as a result of anti-Black racism.
We also included a list of local BHM community events on our website: https://familyconnexions.ca/ei-general-resources/
We wish everyone a wonderful Black History Month—filled with learning celebration towards the future we are looking to build!

Le thème de cette année est « L’héritage et le leadership des personnes noires : célébrer l’histoire canadienne et inspirer les générations futures ».
Cela nous rappelle l'importance de reconnaître et de célébrer, tout au long de l'année, les réalisations et les contributions continues des Noirs au Canada dans toute leur diversité. Cette célébration d’un mois nous invite également à réfléchir à l’histoire douloureuse du Canada ainsi qu’aux défis distincts auxquels les Noirs du Canada continuent de faire face dans leur vie quotidienne en raison du racisme anti-Noirs.
Nous avons également inclus une liste d’événements locaux pour le mois de l’histoire des noirs sur notre site internet: https://familyconnexions.ca/fr/ressources-generales-ei/
Nous souhaitons à tout le monde un beau Mois de l’Histoire des Noirs – rempli d’apprentissages pour un futur que nous cherchons à construire!

January 27th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Day provides a seminal reminder of the victims of the Holocaust and pays tribute to their memory.
It reaffirms our unwavering commitment to advocate against, and challenge all forms of antisemitism, hate and intolerance that too …often lead to targeted individual and group violence.
In November 2005, the United Nations General Assembly officially proclaimed January 27th “International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.” The date marks the anniversary of the January 27th, 1945 liberation of the “Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp” of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
We encourage you to stay informed about what is happening in the community and share any events or resources you find.

Another year, another successful Holiday Program!
As the Holidays come to an end, we look back at the INCREDIBLE amount of donations we received, and how much of an impact it has during the holidays, but also for the remainder of the year as we continue to distribute them through basic …needs and toys/birthday gifts requests.
Our program wouldn’t be as successful without the amazing support from our donors, community partners, volunteers, staff and other generous community members. Their support is essential for the children and families we serve in our community. Thank you for another amazing year!
While the Holidays are over, we are still in need of many items, mainly gift cards and teenager items. Visit https://familyconnexions.ca/donations/ to see all the ways you can give.
You can also sign-up to our newsletter to stay up to date with our programs and needs.

Une autre année, un autre programme des Fêtes réussi!
Alors que les Fêtes se terminent, nous regardons la quantité INCROYABLE de dons que nous avons reçu et l’impact qu’ils ont durant les fêtes, mais aussi pour le reste de l’année lorsque nous les distribuons lors de demandes de premiers besoins et de jouets/cadeaux.
Notre programme ne serait pas autant réussi sans le soutien fantastique de nos donneurs, partenaires communautaires, bénévoles, employé(e)s et autres généreux membres de la communauté. Leur soutien est essentiel pour les enfants et familles que nous servons dans notre communauté. Merci pour une autre belle année!
Bien que les Fêtes soient terminées, nous avons toujours besoins de nombreux articles, notamment des cartes-cadeaux et des articles pour adolescents. Visitez https://familyconnexions.ca/fr/dons/ pour voir toutes les façons de donner.
Vous pouvez aussi vous inscrire à notre infolettre pour rester à jour sur nos programmes et besoins.
