Halton Family Services

Halton Family Services was established in 1954 by a group of Oakville citizens who felt there was a need for a professional, not-for-profit counselling service in the community to help individuals, couples and families. Beginning with one part-time social worker, and a budget of $5,000, the agency today has offices in each of Halton's four municipalities, and a regular staff of twenty three (plus group leaders). Highly trained clinical staff, all of whom have a masters of social work degree or the equivalent, provide a wide variety of counselling to more than 2,500 individuals, couples and families a year. Our Credit Counselling program helps hundreds of individuals and families each year to find solutions to their financial problems.
