LET'S HELP OTHERS: BECOME A VOLUNTEER
For Immigrant/refugee/newcomer Parents
Clarity for your family Confidence in the system
Dzifah Tamakloe helps immigrant parents understand child welfare or child protection expectations, avoid preventable misunderstandings, and respond confidently if concerns arise, so children remain safe and families stay together
Many immigrant parents are raising their children with love, discipline, and strong cultural values, yet still feel uncertain about how child welfare or child protection systems interpret their parenting.
Misunderstanding, not neglect, is often the real risk.
Dzifah works at that intersection.
Having grown up in a Ghanaian children’s home, Dzifah understands the long-term impact of family separation, stigma, and instability; this work is not theoretical, it is deeply personal. As a Canadian-trained Master of Social Work with over a decade of experience in child welfare, she understands what triggers child welfare or child protection investigations, how caseworkers assess risk, how Family Service Plans are structured, and what documentation matters. Dzifah bridges the cultural and systemic gap by translating parenting norms into system-safe language and turning institutional expectations into practical, protective action steps for families. Consultations with Dzifah are private, direct, and solution-oriented, centered on preserving family stability. Seeking guidance does not put you at risk; being uninformed does.
