Child maltreatment remains a serious and prevalent public health issue in Canada, with profound and lasting impacts on the health and well-being of children, families, and communities. Today, Aslam Rana, Member of Parliament for Hamilton Centre, on behalf of the Honourable Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health, announced an investment of $3 million in two projects to help prevent and address child maltreatment.

This funding will strengthen prevention efforts that support safe and healthy relationships, identify and address risks faced by children and families, and reinforce community supports. These projects will also equip service providers with evidence-based training and resources to help prevent child maltreatment and its health impacts. Funding recipients are:

McMaster University is receiving $1.7 million for its project to promote positive outcomes for youth in care. This project aims to address the risk factors and systemic barriers that contribute to youth falling into the child welfare system over multiple generations. It will help support more youth in care as they move into adulthood, and evaluate its long term impacts on their lives.

Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg is receiving $1.3 million for their project to adapt, co-create, deliver and evaluate a nation-specific (Anishinaabe) version of the Nobody's Perfect Parenting Program. This Anishnaabe version of the culturally adapted, community-led program will promote positive parenting, and will be tested in three urban, northern and rural communities across Ontario as an intervention for the prevention of child maltreatment.
