History

Throughout our brief history, Enterphase Child & Family Services has attempted to successfully address the ever changing needs of the community, specifically in respect to that of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and their families. It has become evident that the "needs" have often outgrown many of the traditional services available. We have encountered a significant need for service regarding latency aged children with multiple disorders requiring levels of support beyond those available through traditional resources e.g., group care, foster and special foster treatment resources and mainstream academic programming.

Enterphase programming and professional support services is working towards addressing those needs in developing a spectrum of services; full staff resourcing for latency, upper latency, and adolescent youngsters who can benefit from therapeutic resourcing. Our community based "day treatment" programming enriches the process while enhancing collaborative projects with community strength based agencies such as The Durham Children's Aid Society, The Durham Court Clinic, The Durham Board of Education, The Durham Catholic District School Board, The Children's Aid Society of Toronto, The Toronto Catholic District School Board, and Storey Homes Ltd. The emphasis of individualized treatment plans involving varied treatment modes, i.e., play therapy, anger management, impulse control and expressive arts, are encompassed with the Enterphase Clinical Support Services.

The Enterphase Program, from its inception (1995) has endeavored to meet the increased demands of our clients in developing long term treatment programming with enhanced services, quality staff, clinical supports, day treatment services and individualized community based programming.

The Enterphase Program was founded by Harold Cleary, Executive Director who had combined with the Executive Directors of Storey Homes, Bob Storey and Hugh McClure, in developing a unique and successful short term Admission Assessment Program for Catholic Children's Aid Society Toronto. The Program served hard to serve youngsters. Our agency founders are professional social workers experienced and highly skilled within the Social Services providing services and developing programming since 1974. Storey Homes Limited, Enterphase Child & Family Services are leaders in providing services for care and treatment of children and their families. Combined, our residential care settings encompass foster care, mixed modality care, group care, staffed group care, full residential treatment and community based wraparound care. Ariss Place, a residential service for developmentally challenged youngsters has recently been developed in the Guelph area.

The very foundation of our services is founded in our collaborative partnerships with community agencies, Children's Aid Societies and respective Boards of Education.
