Individual Parenting Support

A nine-week, one-on-one parent education and support program that uses evidence-based parenting strategies. Our Parent Support Workers collaborate with parents and caregivers to understand and decode children’s behaviour as a form of communication.

This program focuses on building emotional regulation, effective communication, structure, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, and co-parenting strategies. Families meet with a Parent Support Worker for approximately one hour each week during regular business hours.

Individual sessions are offered between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday-Friday.
