The Salvation Army Lawson Ministries Hamilton is a network of people that strives to provide support and social inclusion to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
We accomplish this by establishing and maintaining residential and day program services in supportive, caring environments that address individual needs.

S.A.F.E. Hub
The S.A.F.E. hub was developed by The Salvation Army Lawson Ministries in 2020 after it was identified there was a gap in services focused on sexuality, abuse prevention, parenting and education for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It was developed in collaboration with community partners, they have assisted in program development in order to meet the needs of individuals with IDD. In 2021 the S.A.F.E. hub was a successful recipient of the Salvation Army Innovations Grant, this grant was used to focus on providing educational opportunities. In 2023 the SAFE hub received a second innovations grant to support the continuation and growth of the S.A.F.E hub program with an emphasis on service users developing social connections.
Upcoming programming plans for 2024 will focus on human trafficking, parenting and sexual health.

Update from our Chaplain, Dora
On My Way!
Our new On My Way project pairs the developmentally disabled individuals we support with Hamilton artists who help them create a shareable expression of their needs and goals. For David, that means collaborating with artist and author to create a written and graphic narrative that will be printed for his caregivers and loved ones to have and refer to. Using art as a means of communication helps David on his way to a more fulfilling life! Stay tuned for more On My Way collaborations and stories throughout 2024!.
