Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions is a non-profit multi-service agency operating in the District of Muskoka and Simcoe County. They are one of two organizations legally mandated to protect children and youth from abuse and neglect in Simcoe and Muskoka. Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected from the community, they develop programs and services tailored to the needs of children, youth, and families in the area.
Under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017, they investigate allegations of child abuse, provide guidance to families, offer care for children in need, and facilitate adoptions when necessary. Services for children and youth identifying as First Nations or Inuit are provided by their partner organization, Dnaagdawenmag Biinoojiiyag Child and Family Services.
Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions also offers counseling and therapy services for children, youth, and families in need of mental health support, funded by the Ministry of Health. Their Child and Youth Mental Health programs are accessible at their Muskoka Child & Youth Mental Health Counselling Clinic, providing sessions virtually or in person in different locations during specific hours.
