May 11, 2020 (Toronto) – Family violence is intensifying as Ontario self-isolates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In urgent response, senior clinical staff and consultants at Radius Child and Youth Services are making their consultation services available to front line staff and supervisors at all Children’s Aid Societies across the province. Access to this service will be completely free of charge.
It’s National Volunteer Week! We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Board Members, including our Board President and volunteer Scott Wilkinson, for volunteering their time on behalf of Radius. Scott, along with all of his Board colleagues, provide ongoing support and guidance to the organization and without them we could not do what we do! THANK YOU!
As we continue to celebrate our wonderful volunteers during National Volunteer Week, we wanted everyone to meet Dianne Sadler! Dianne has been one of our remarkable volunteers for over 15 years! During this time she has been an integral part of our Spring Event Committee – a group of volunteers who are dedicated to raising funds for the children, youth and families we serve. THANK YOU Dianne!
Every year many of you look forward to our annual Tournament of Hope! This year, mark your calendar for Monday, August 24th at Piper’s Heath Golf Club.
There is no doubt, that keeping kids (and teenagers) busy during this time of social and physical distancing is hard work! The first few days together went smoothly but now we’re hearing “I’m bored” and “I wanna see my friends”. So, what do we do? How do we manage our kids to create structure in their day-to- day?
Whether you celebrate the 1920’s or 2020’s, Radius is over the moon to announce their 2020 Spring Event! We’ll be putting on the ritz, Saturday, April 25th, at our Roaring Twenties Party! Jazz it up with all the glitz and glamour of the 1920’s (and none of the Prohibition) while helping raise funds for children, youth and families affected by abuse.
Just over four years ago, Radius had the honour of meeting Matthew Vezina. Matthew heard about the work of Radius through a close friend and decided to join our Tournament of Hope Committee. He told us that working with Radius and knowing that he could make a difference, even in some small way in the life of a child who needs help, is very rewarding.
As October comes to a close, we wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who supported Radius through our Child Abuse Prevention Month Campaign. Whether you volunteered, advocated, shared, donated or sponsored, you helped to raise awareness and funds for key services for kids and families affected by abuse. Together, we are helping to build futures free from abuse, neglect and violence.
With ghosts, goblins and scary witches trolling the streets on Halloween night, we wanted to provide some tips to keep kids safe while out trick or treating. The night is about fun and excitement, so here are some common sense tips for parents to ensure the evening is happy and safe!
On September 27th, the Optimist Club of Oakville held its 38th Annual Shrimpfest! Radius representatives joined in the fun and were full of gratitude (and shrimp!) for the club’s ongoing support. Radius received a portion of the proceeds from this year’s Shrimpfest. Thank you to the Optimist Club of Oakville for being champions for local children, youth and families!
