Working for children, youth and families in changing times
Board Chair, Gregory Glenn and
President and Chief Executive Officer, Cathy Paul
Kinark has accomplished a lot over the last five years towards the goals in our 2014-2019 strategic plan.
Since 2014, we have focused on continuously improving everything we do—from our clinical programs and services to the way we support our employees to our business practices and technological solutions—so we can do our best to serve kids and families with the most complex needs.
Clients and families tell us we’re on the right track
As we embark on a new three-year strategic plan, it is important to reflect on all that the Kinark team has accomplished, and on how our clients and their families feel about the services we provide. The results of our 2018/19 client experience surveys suggest that we’re on the right track.
