ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENCES TREATING YOUTH
Legal name: ONTARIO CARE COLLECTIVE
Ontario Care Collective operates group homes across the Greater Toronto Area that provide residential care and support to young people in the child welfare system. The organization offers safe, stable living environments combined with counseling, life skills training, and educational support for teenagers and young adults who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. Staff members work with residents on emotional regulation, building healthy relationships, and preparing for independent adulthood. The homes serve youth who are in government care or transitioning out of institutional settings, with a focus on creating family-like environments where healing and growth can occur. Ontario Care Collective also works with schools, social workers, and other community partners to ensure each resident receives coordinated support tailored to their individual needs and circumstances.
