WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND A FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM?

  • You want to change the way you relate to your children. You don’t like screaming at them or hitting them, but you are not sure what else to do.
  • You feel alone, like there is no one you can talk to about what is going on at home.
  • You have a friend or a family member who attends the group and is asking you to come along with them.
  • The courts or Children and Youth Services have said that you must attend the group as part of your family service plan.
  • Your child is changing, entering a new phase, and you are not sure what parts of his behavior are normal and what might need help.
  • You did not see examples of good parenting when you were a child, and you do not want to repeat the same mistakes with your children.
  • You want your children to have a chance to play and learn with other kids in the child care program.
  • It is a chance for you to relax, talk with other parents and have a break from your children. There might even be food or other activities going on!
  • You completed parenting classes and now want a chance to practice what you learned, getting feedback from other parents in the group.
  • The facilitator can point you to services in your community that can help you and your family.
  • You love your children and want to be the best parent you can be.
