Oasis Villages provides specialized out-of-home care for youth & children (ages 0-18) who can no longer remain in their home environment due to crisis, safety concerns, or instability.
Our program offers a safe, structured, and compassionate space where young people can regain a sense of stability, grounding, and belonging.
Many of the youth we support have experienced trauma, disrupted relationships, or sudden life changes, and they require consistent guidance, emotional support, and trustworthy adults who can walk with them through difficult transitions.
We support youth aged 16-24 who have exited the Canadian child welfare system. We provide these young people with guidance, structure, and life-skill development as they move into adulthood.
Our TAY programming focuses on assisting our young clients in transitioning from full-time support to independence. We assist residents in securing employment, drivers licences, post-secondary education or trades.
We work alongside Individuals with high behavioural support needs. These behaviours are persistent challenges beyond normal stress responses.
Often impacting functioning and relationships, often involving aggression, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, or social withdrawal.
These difficulties can manifest as aggression, defiance, impulsivity, inattention, or difficulty with emotional regulation, and they are more serious than typical reactions to stress.
Common signs include frequent outbursts, poor performance in school or work, social withdrawal, and a lack of impulse control.
Our highly trained team of behavioural specialist’s and direct support workers.
We service individuals of all ages living with Developmental Disabilities and/or Mental Health concerns. Our clients benefit from integrated, trauma-informed supports.
Our Developmental Support Services (DSS) focus on working with clients to achieve personal goals and develop new skills.
