Support Services for Mothers with a Child with Disabilities

Provided by Spectrum Mothers Support Society

Provides support for women caring for their children in difficult and challenging situations.
They serve mothers on the North Shore with children under the age of five. We give priority to low-income families (which may include teenage mothers and new immigrants) and mothers of children with disabilities, developmental delays or behavioural challenges. Caregivers provide support services to mothers and children in their home.

Once a referral is received the family is matched with a caregiver/mentor who then meets with the family and together they work out a schedule for the caregiver/mentor to spend time in the home.
