Contact Brant has been serving Brantford and Brant County for over two decades and is a key access point for child and youth services and the local Community Information Center. We are the Lead Coordinating Agency, providing services to children and youth with complex and cross-sectoral service needs including Coordinated Service Planning, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Service Coordination, and the Ontario Autism Program’s Hamilton-Niagara Region Urgent Response Service.

Contact Brant is committed to providing a culture of respect, inclusion, and family-centered care to all children, youth, and families. Our collaborative approach with our community partners is recognized as an asset to this community and creates the foundation for how we offer our services and support. Contact Brant is your first place to contact for information, access to community services, and for coordinated planning.

Contact Brant has an annual operating budget of $8.9 million and an incredibly skilled and dedicated team of approximately 27 employees who live and work in our community. Our vision is to ensure that children, youth, and families are connected to and supported by their community. Our mission is to make it simple to find community information and resources, and make it simple for children, youth, and families to get connected to community services. We support families by bringing services together for a coordinated plan of care. Our values, which support our mission and vision, are reflected throughout our workplace. We value: our clients by providing timely, family-centred help; our community partners and the work we do together; our commitment to diversity and inclusion; and our knowledgeable team who make it all happen.

In support of this, we have recently developed a strategic plan that sets the blueprint for the future. Our strategic plan pillars include organizational effectiveness, commitment to community, brand understanding, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
