Carpe Diem Residential Therapeutic Treatment Homes for Children is a specialized program designed to provide treatment foster care for emotionally distressed children. Our commitment to create a caring, encouraging, and structured environment that meets and exceeds the child’s needs and allows the goal of supporting and assisting children to grow in all areas of their lives to be continually and effectively met.

The professionals at Carpe Diem are dedicated to directing children down the path of achieving an individual balance emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. The Case Managers who support our dedicated foster parents all have a sound background in child development and behaviour problems, and many years of experience working within the child welfare system. Carpe Diem is also assisted by a consulting psychologist, and the resources of our sister agency, Branching Out, which provides behavioural assessments, therapeutic groups, and play therapy for children.

Working as a liaison between the Children’s Aid Society, the Carpe Diem family places hard-to-serve foster children in caring and nurturing homes. Adhering to our belief that each child is unique, all of our children are inspired to strengthen their very own person in their day-to-day lives.
