Service Description:
|
Services to mothers and children who have been exposed to domestic violence. Provides this service through individual and group counselling
Peaceful Families: Mothers and their children who have been exposed to abuse get together with a facilitator for a meal and family activity and then break up into smaller groups for session topic discussions
The program aims to provide:
- early intervention so that children may heal from the harmful effects and thus avoid the later need for more intensive supports
- women and children have a safe place to process the violence they have been exposed to
- methods of addressing social and behavioural issues that can result from exposure to abuse
- support to children in their understanding that it is not their fault or responsibility
- support to mothers as they help their children heal and gain confidence in their parenting skills and understanding of their child’s experience
Mothers in Mind: Group for mothers who have experienced a traumatic event and/or unhealthy/abusive family dynamics in their childhood or adult life and their children (four years of age and under). Each week, moms and their children spend time participating in activities that are geared towards enhancing parenting skills, strengthening the parent-child relationship, and learning new skills for managing stress that can accompany parenthood
