COUNSELLING PROGRAMMES
1. FAMILY GROUPS:
Family Groups are run as intensive modules that are available to any parent or guardian and their child in the community. The modules are on different topics promoting positive parenting through various exploration of various family issues. This group is geared to parents who want to improve family relationships and learn more effective ways to develop their parenting skills. There will typically be 5-6 Family Groups on different topics run per year. Topics include parent stress management, parent-adolescent bonding, discipline, co-parenting, blended families and budgeting. Volunteers are needed to shadow families, help facilitate curriculums with the children and to help set-up and break-down for the group. Family Groups take place on Monday evenings from 5:30-8:00 at Family Centre.
Ideal volunteers include college students working towards a degree in child related fields or professionals who have experience working with children and families.
