Specialized Residences
About this resource
When no other living arrangement is able to meet the needs of a child or youth, Strive can develop one.
In this highly specialized arrangement, a home is carefully selected and developed around a child or youth to meet their specific health, physical, mental, emotional, and/or behavioural needs.
Specialized housing typically includes 24/7 staffing or one live-in care provider with additional staff support during the day. Both options offer skilled and qualified caregivers that provide around the clock support and supervision.
Strive subscribes to a harm reduction approach and a trauma informed lens. Employees at some of our specialized residences are trained in ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences).
