Child Development Institute, in partnership with parents and communities, is committed to strengthening families and promoting healthy child development.
We provide child development, early intervention, and family violence services for children under the age of 12 and their families.
We build knowledge through research in child development, parenting, childhood aggression, children in conflict with the law, early childhood disorders, child abuse, woman abuse and related areas. We share this knowledge through research and program partnerships, both locally and internationally.
We help children by working with the whole family. We identify each child and family’s unique strengths, needs and challenges. Many of our children have emotional or behavioural problems stemming from a variety of sources. We work with them to uncover their abilities, give them tools to succeed and help them overcome challenges.
