Services are available to parents with children between the ages of 0 and 18 years of age.   

Support and advocacy are provided regarding:

• Parenting stressors and supports

• Positive parenting
• Safety, nutrition and providing basic needs for children
• Communicating with children
• Referrals to community based parent-child resources and services
• Working with the Children’s Aid Society
