Children & Youth
Respite
The goal of our Children’s respite services isn’t only to give families a break, it’s to keep them thriving together.
Overview
This is a residential respite service, which means support is offered to the child within a 24-hour shift staffed home.
We currently have a respite home for children located in St. Vital, in Winnipeg and one in Brandon, Manitoba.
Children stay for a short time, to give their families time to rest and recharge from caregiving. Families also have access to a team of clinicians who are available to help the family members and their support network build capacity and confidence and to learn new ways to cope and support their family member.
Who Qualifies?
Children under 18 who qualify for Children Disability Services CdS (and their family)
Referrals for this service must be made by Community Services Workers.
