The New Beginnings Transit Home is a temporary residential place of safety for children between the ages of 2 – 16 years who are victims of child abuse and severe neglect and who are in need of care and protection. This service works closely the National Foster Care and Adoption Services to ensure that children are returned to where they thrive best: in secure and loving families. The Home is a sub-division of the Division of Human Services and Family Affairs in Saint Lucia.
