Company Description The Halo Foundation for Families and Children Inc is a charity born from the stubborn belief that no parent should have to face the child protection system alone and no child’s safety should depend on their parents navigating that system perfectly while in crisis.

We are parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties, social workers, counsellors, advocates and community members who have seen, up close, what happens when families are left to fight for their children without information, support or hope.

We have sat in the rooms where decisions are made. We know the language, the power, and the silence that often sits between. The Foundation exists to stand in that space with families not instead of them.
