Humewood House is a Young Parent Resource Center, founded in 1912. It is a non-profit, charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and staffed by professionals and volunteers. Its services are offered both at Humewood House and throughout the west area of Greater Toronto, often in collaboration with other social services and health and educational facilities.

Services:

  • A 15-bed residence offering pre and post-natal care
  • A school facility offering secondary school courses for up to 24 young women
  • A 10-bed fully licensed infant daycare centre
  • Parenting, nutrition and life-skills training
  • Individual and family counselling services
  • Assistance and advocacy with housing and other external resources

Vision:

Humewood House will impact a greater number of pregnant and parenting young women by being responsive to community needs, and creative in the use of resources. We will continue to learn about the factors that contribute to healthy infant development, and to share that knowledge with young mothers and with the community. We will seek greater support by increasing our funding base and volunteer involvement.

Values Statement:

Our philosophy of service includes the following set of values which are integral to our work:

  • The belief in each person's worth, dignity and potential to make choices
  • A non-judgemental approach to individuals and their choices
  • Inclusion of clients in all decisions pertaining to their involvement with Humewood House
