We envision...
A world where children feel safe, seen, and free to form healthy connections.
Our Mission
We are a registered nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening family connections. At the heart of our work are dedicated family centres that provide a structured, supportive environment where connections can be restored, conflict can be navigated, and families are empowered to grow together through supervised contact, reunification therapy, mediation, counselling, and child participation services.
Our Story
The Samuel Lawson Foundation was born out of deep personal loss.
After losing her baby son Samuel to stillbirth, our founder turned her grief into purpose, choosing to create safe, healing spaces for other children and families navigating their own seasons of crisis.
As an advocate specializing in family law, she saw the urgent need for neutral, child-focused environments where children could safely see a parent, build trust, and slowly repair broken bonds.
What began as one family’s story is now a growing mission, rooted in compassion, driven by connection, and built on the belief that every child deserves a safe place to belong.
Join the Mission
We’re building more than centres. We’re building a movement, of people who believe children deserve safety, dignity, and connection.
