SUPPORT CHILDREN
with developmental disabilities
Good Neighbours Canada proudly stands as hope and support for vulnerable communities. Our mission and vision are empowering individuals in need, creating a world where compassion and support lead to a brighter future for all.
Good Neighbours Canada is presently supporting a community of over 50 families with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnoses, who are marginalized on account of their newcomer status, limited if any English language skills, being of a visible minority and needing to provide round-the-clock care for their children with additional needs. The group has no access to funding, and most families have very limited access to support services such as personal social workers for caregiving respite, or financial support to help provide for their children’s additional needs. As such, the parents of these families act as permanent caregivers and suffer from severe isolation, with no time for interpersonal connection with adult peers or vital downtime from providing care. This is causing reports of poor psycho-emotional safety and a pressing need within this community of mental health and social support.
Partnering with PATH
In our commitment to this cause, we are pleased to announce our partnership with PATH (Parents Association Living Toward Hope), a parents organization dedicated to uplifting children with developmental disabilities. This collaboration is a testament to our shared values and dedication to making a significant difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Some of our partner families and children
Good Neighbours Canada’s mandate is to empower people to transform communities; we wish to deliver a whole-family support program in partnership with Hydro One to empower each individual within this community and thus to connect, emotionally support and socially energize the family unit as a whole.
