1-1 Family Support
We connect with parents/caregivers & families to help them reach their family’s unique goals.
Family workers provide parent education, information, support and strategies to increase understanding of child & adolescent development, promote effective communication, find ways to respond to challenging behaviours and increase cooperation, within the context of relationship and connection. Family workers can also support access to available community resources and additional supports.

This program is funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, with MCFD referrals prioritized.

United Way British Columbia School’s Out Club
This program operates out of Katzie and Latimer Road Elementary schools. This afterschool program is geared to children attending these schools who would benefit from additional community support addressing mental health, social skills and building capacity for leadership.
Through the UW School’s Out Club, participants have the opportunity to participate in a free after-school hours program that helps them build relationships with their peers, youth mentors and program facilitators. As a result, students build their capacity to better cope at school, at home and in their community.
Our program, while meeting the emergent needs of the participants, also supports them to build their capacity to manage their own needs and those of their peers in healthier ways. Ultimately, our intent is to support the participants as they transition to high school and adulthood—equipped with the skills and tools that will help them navigate through life.
