Mission Statement
The MISSION of ONE KIDS PLACE is to provide community-based rehabilitation and related support services for children and youth (up to the age of 19) and their families living in the Districts of Muskoka, Nipissing and Parry Sound. The Centre defines rehabilitation for children and youth as a process which is centred on the child’s strengths and potential. It provides an integrated range of services and supports which recognizes the changing physical, emotional and psychological aspects of a child’s development. The rehabilitation process involves the participation of families, the broader systems serving children (education, health and social services), and the wider community in assisting children to develop their full potential as valued and contributing members of society.
