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.
