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 (Zoom or In-Person at the Greystone Centre)

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.

Groups are two hours per week for eight weeks and are offered to both moms and dads separately.
