Family Connections
The Family Connections Program comprises three distinct sub programs, each designed to help strengthen or preserve healthy relationships between parents and children, increase family functioning, and provide family support and assistance during periods of crisis.
1. Enhanced Access
(Program for families with children 14 years of age and younger)
This program provides a responsive, dynamic and flexible range of services that allow parents and children the opportunity to continue their relationship; where children are living outside of the family home, and where reunification is an active service-plan goal.
MCFD Referrals Only
2. Family Outreach
(Program for families with children 12 years of age and younger)
We provide services to families (with children 0-12 years of age) on a continuum from preventative to restorative. Family Outreach support may include, but is not limited to:
One-to-one parental support
Education and counselling to families
Addressing basic needs and safety of children
Assisting families to develop pro-social life skills
Responding and supporting parents through crisis
MCFD and FVACFSS Referrals
3. Counselling
(Program for families with children 12 years of age and younger)
Individual and/or couples counselling is provided for parents to increase their functioning and improve their relationships. The focus of the counselling is for those parents who are experiencing family challenges due to the impact of multi-generational or trauma-based issues. Counselling with a certified counsellor is intended to find, explore, and improve personal and historical family relationships and functions, and to increase the use of adaptive coping strategies and behaviours. MCFD and FVACFSS Referrals (Team Leader signature required)
4. Mental Wellness Parenting Group
(Program for parents with children 12 years of age and younger)
A certified counsellor facilitates a psycho-educational group for parents who are experiencing anxiety or depression which may affect their parenting.
This, eight-week long Mental Wellness Parenting group is offered three times per year. Click to learn more.
Open to Self-Referrals
