It has been said that nothing worth having comes easily, and it’s certainly true that children and families, while far from effortless, greatly enrich our lives. Some have said they are what gives life purpose and meaning, and even that they are what makes life worth living. So when difficulties arise within our families it can be heart-wrenching, causing panic, frustration, or despair. Unfortunately, many often don’t get help until the problem has grown so big that they really can’t manage it at all anymore. We’re glad you’re here now.

Family dynamics can change rapidly and dramatically, making it hard for all the members of a family to keep up and adjust appropriately. A couple watching an ultrasound monitor today becomes something entirely new just short months later: a family of three. All of a sudden, there might be a lot more in-laws around than there used to be, and much more often. That baby grows so quickly, the next thing you know you’re teaching them to look both ways before crossing the street. The couple might become one parent if they separate, or turn into four if they each re-marry. That child might suddenly have older step-siblings and a new baby half-sibling. Any one of these changes can present new and daunting challenges. We would be honoured to come alongside you and help you emerge from these trying times. Some of the ways we can help include:

• Navigating Through Separation and Divorce
• Positive Effective Parenting for Children under 0-12
• Positive Effective Parenting for Teens
