Description
The Family Support Program offers weekly, confidential support/educational groups for parents and caregivers. During group meetings, parents and caregivers discuss issues concerning them, such as healthy discipline techniques, stress and anger management and child development. Participants are encouraged to learn from each other's experiences. Children can attend a Children's Group which meets at the same time as the Parents Support Group. Children's groups are designed to provide age (0-17yrs) appropriate activities which foster the development of positive self esteem, social skills, safety skills and feeling identification.
