Sos Children's Village Bc

sos children’s village british columbia (canada) society (sos bc) was incorporated in 1986 and has operated our campus since 1999. the village, our flagship program based in surrey, was created as a grass roots response to the unmet needs of children and youth in the provincial foster care system; namely the frequent placement breakdowns and moves for children and youth in foster care, and the separation of siblings into different homes. the village’s unique model is based on dynamics implemented by hermann gmeiner, the founder of sos children’s villages international. our elements for success continue to be based on gmeiner’s beliefs that a loving consistent family, home, and community create a circle of healing, belonging, support, and positive growth for children in need. by establishing this circle of healing, children develop resilience and renewed hope leading to their future successes. the sos bc continuum of service provides counselling, art therapy, neurofeedback training, and
