Dufferin Child and Family Services (DCAFS) is a multi-service agency providing child and youth mental health, child protection and developmental support services to residents of Dufferin County.
DCAFS receives government funding for its core services, but there are always additional needs that arise and extra support that is essential to assist those we work with.
