Ifarada continued to prioritize better outcomes for Parents and Children

With a foundation grant from the TD Bank Group, Ifarada was able to support programming for parents, caregivers and guardians through the family wellbeing program, webinars, support groups, and therapeutic group programs.

Through the initiative, 850 parents, guardians and caregivers accessed support services to strengthen their families and to achieve better outcomes.
