儿童的安全家庭 was created as a solution to a problem that needed to be addressed—but in a different way. 这些家庭不需要寄养参与，而是需要力量, 工具, 社区, 和一只援助之手.

多年来, LYDIA Home saw many 孩子们 enter the child welfare system for reasons that could have been prevented had they had the right resources at their disposal. 决心看到更多的孩子受到保护，家庭完整, LYDIA Home于2003年创立了BC菠菜论坛. LYDIA Home是一个由志愿者推动的非营利组织，以提供希望而自豪, 支持, 以及家庭所需要的力量.

LYDIA之家, 这些家庭周围充满了关怀, 有同情心的社区，随时准备在危机发生时采取行动. BC菠菜论坛的使命是创建一个扩展的家庭支持系统. 这进一步推动了我们的愿景，即看到并创造一个儿童不仅仅是生存的世界, 但茁壮成长，是安全的, 在那里，家庭被彻底改变，以领导一个成功的家庭, 欢乐的生活. 

导师s are there to 支持 residents through their early years of adulthood and ensure a safe, 当他们过渡到社会时，可靠的Contact. 

在LYDIA Home，这种影响并不仅仅是短期的. 这 program was created to ensure LYDIA Home’s 孩子们 not only receive top-notch care as they are raised but even after they have transitioned into society.

这 program pairs trained volunteer mentors with youth aging out of the foster care system who could benefit from learning basic life skills and having a connection to a safe adult in their life.
