As a busy parent, it can be difficult to find time for learning new skills. There is no 'one-size-fits-all' guidebook for caregiving.

That's why we have broken down our Positive Parenting Strategies workshop into age-specific, private workshop options.

These workshops tailor the content to the developmental stage of your children. Options include:
- Nurturing Newborn Attachment
- Parenting Toddlers & Pre-Schoolers
- Parenting School-Age Children
- Parenting Teens

To learn more about these private workshops, please head to our website: https://tfcna.com/4h71E0w

Many women are taught to suppress their anger. Over time, this can lead to feeling unheard, withdrawn, bitter, or resentful.

Our Women and Anger class is a supportive and judgment-free space where you will learn how to understand and express your anger in healthy ways. It meets court requirements and is court-approved.

Plus, we have a whole blog of strategies you can use to get your child ready for what's to come (and help with some of your stress, too!)

Our team at The Family Centre supports prospective foster caregivers through the entire registration process. But did you know we also provide extensive training about Indigenous culture and teachings?

“We are super happy for [the children in our care] to be able to attend cultural events. [They have learned about] cultural dance, music, and understand more about their history," shared one of our caregivers. "Smudging was one of the big things we also learned more about; how it cleanses and promotes well-being and connecting individuals with their spirituality and the natural world."

We are so excited to continue learning alongside and working with the caregivers in our community, providing safe homes to children and youth in foster care.

For some students, school can spark fear or anxiety as they consider the uncertainty of the approaching new year. You might find your children become clingy. Tantrums and meltdowns might increase, and stomach aches may start popping up.

Visiting the school during the summer, browsing its website, or sitting down and talking about what parts of the experience are worrying them are all great ways to help your child become more comfortable with this big change.

You can’t plan for everything, and you won’t always be by your child’s side to guide them. Building a strong foundation leading up to a big change, like a new school year, can help your child build resiliency.

Congratulations! You've become a parent. While this new adventure can be full of love and excitement, it also comes with its own share of challenges.

Our Family Systems Domestic Violence (FSDV) Program is suited to families experiencing a low-to-medium risk for physical or emotional aggression.

But what does that mean?

- Low risk might look like situational conflict and minor physical acts (pushing, grabbing). There is no pattern of control, severe injury, weapons, or escalation.
- Medium risk might look like more frequent conflict, emotional or verbal abuse, minor physical violence, children witnessing conflict, or some risk factors (e.g. stress, substance abuse, mental health concerns).

If you're not sure where your family fits on this scale, please reach out to our program coordinator: https://tfcna.com/4wxBVnq
