The Children and Youth at Risk program include child protection services delivered by Children’s Aid Societies and Indigenous societies to protect children and youth at risk of abuse or neglect; youth justice services to reduce reoffending and provide prevention, rehabilitation and reintegration services and other culturally appropriate services for Francophone and Indigenous communities and adoption information disclosure services.
Supports to Individuals and Families include services for children and youth with developmental and/or physical disabilities; culturally appropriate health and wellness programs for Indigenous peoples; community-based supports for at-risk youth or women and children experiencing violence; and specialized services for children and youth including autism services, rehabilitation services, and supports for those with complex special needs.

The Ontario Child Benefit Equivalent provides children and youth in the care of Children’s Aid Societies with access to social, educational and recreational opportunities and a savings program for older youth in care.
Children, Youth and Social Services Information & Information Technology Cluster provides strategic advice and operations of information technology solutions to support the business and mandate of the ministry.
The Office of Women's Issues works across government to promote women's economic and social empowerment and security and the prevention of violence against women. Settlement and Integration programs support the successful social and economic integration of immigrants and refugees.
