Liberia: Empowerment Squared, Hamilton Children's Aid Society Partner to Support Newcomer and Marginalized Children, Youth and Families in the Community

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. "We recognize that racialized children and families are overrepresented in the child welfare system, including at our agency, and we are committed to reduce this overrepresentation through the provision of equitable service in concert with our local community. To further this goal, we are building relationships with partners in the community like Empowerment Squared to help us work collaboratively towards equitable outcomes for Black and other racialized newcomer families in the Hamilton community.
