Empowerment Squared and Hamilton Children’s Aid Society have taken an intentional step on a joint initiative to support newcomer and marginalized families in the Hamilton community, with a special focus on Black and racialized children and youth. “At Hamilton CAS, our vision is to work together with families and partners in the community to provide support to keep children and youth safe and well,” says Bryan Shone, Executive Director, Hamilton CAS. Empowerment Squared will be establishing a presence at 26 Arrowsmith Road, the head office of Hamilton CAS. As of November 2020, a pilot program will provide early help and intervention services to meet the needs of racialized families working with Hamilton CAS. “By working together, we can expand the programs offered through Empowerment Squared to families working with CAS, and to the broader community,” adds Johnson.
