Respite
RESPITE CARE IS PROVIDED AT THE HOME OF THE RESPITE CAREGIVER.
Respite offers the child or youth a safe place to stay while providing temporary relief to families and care providers.
Respite can be provided during weekends, holidays, or other time periods and can provide emergency relief care to a family in times of crisis.
Strive carefully and thoroughly screens respite caregivers before approving them to work with the child or youth. Referrals from MCFD are required to become part of Strive’s Children and Youth Services Program.
For more information about respite care in the Lower Mainland, Powell River, and/or Sunshine Coast, please contact the Director of Children and Youth Services.
