One-to-one Family Support

We work with parents/caregivers of children and youth to help them reach their family’s individual and collective goals.

Family Workers provide parent education and skills training to increase understanding of child & adolescent development, promote effective communication, address challenging behaviours, and increase cooperation. Family workers can also help to create connections to available community resources and additional support where applicable.

One-to-one Family Support is a free, confidential service for parents and caregivers with children and youth ages 0-13, and funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

Self-referrals and community referrals are welcome.
Hours of service are flexible and include evenings.
