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 in South Surrey & White Rock (south of 48th Avenue and west of 196th Street), and is funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

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

For more info & to make a referral, please contact referrals@alexhouse.net or call 604-538-5060
