Terrace Youth Residential Services (Bryce, Taylor, Terrace and Lee Residence) have been providing a full spectrum of services to youth and children for 7 years in the Ottawa-Carleton Region.

It is our mission:
Within the provisions of the Child and Family Services Act; under the condition of the license issued by the Ministry of Community Family, Children and Social Services; in cooperation with the services receiving agencies; and with respect for the dignity and physical and emotional needs of the youth in care:
To provide the highest possible quality care to the youth placed within our homes; to offer them assistance and a safe place to deal with their issues; to guide, direct and assist them in their emotional, intellectual and moral development in a non-judgemental and supportive manner; and to help prepare them for their future.
Management
The executive director Ms. Terri Storey is responsible for the organization and structuring of the program. The executive director is an officer of the corporation and is directly accountable to the ministry.
Philosophy
Intensive services by their nature are more intrusive and may have a destructive effect on the life of a child and their family in that the child must live and/or attend school in an environment outside of their home and community. We strive to minimize this disruption by determining the least intrusive intervention that would address the resident needs.
Individual plans are goal oriented and are developed by Supervisors/Staff and outside agencies involved. Children and youth successfully integrated into their alternative placement can be helped to grow and develop in ways conducive to their return to their natural home, independent living or other appropriate placement.
