Parenting Support Programs
For Parents
Our Parenting Programs provide parents and caregivers with the opportunity to build upon their current parenting strengths and skills by:
Increasing parenting confidence
Connecting families with community resources and supports
Working together to identify effective parenting strategies specific to the family
Individual Parenting Support
This individual support program focuses on a holistic, strength based, one-on-one parent education approach. Parenting Support staff work collaboratively with parents and caregivers of children and youth (ages 0 -17) to create a parenting plan based on their self-identified goals. These goals might include, but are not limited to, structure and routine, day-to-day behaviour management, stress management, communication, relationship building, co-parenting, ‘disrespect’, etc.
Individual sessions are offered between the hours of 9:00 am-5:00 pm Monday-Friday.
