Families 2 Families is a network of families, individuals and community groups. Our vision is to see all children on Vancouver Island be raised in a positive way by parents & caregivers who feel confident about engaging with children as a loving, nurturing relationship.
.
We are now offering one on one support for parents. We are accepting referrals or walk-Ins.
Perhaps you have read some parenting books and can't make sense of them, or there are challenges in your home and you don't know what to do. Our Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educators can walk you through attachment theory and positive discipline tools to provide you with both insight and practical tools that will assist you to bring resolution to these challenges.
There is a small fee associated with this service. There are also bursaries available.
Please email us for more details and to set up a meeting.
