Community Resources for Families

The Boys & Girls Club (BGC) offers a number of programs that families may be interested in accessing.

Circle of Friends - this program provides a safe space for children between the ages of 6 and 12 to navigate the stages of pain and loss (e.g. family separation, divorce, death of a loved one or pet, change in life circumstances, etc.)

Connect Parent - Connect Parent is an attachment-focused program that looks at the behaviours demonstrated by our children as indications of needs not being met as opposed to problem behaviour. The intention of this program is to shift our thinking from behaviour modification to meeting the needs of our kids in order to diminish the behaviours we are seeing. This 9-week program will be facilitated Wednesday evenings, from October 2nd to November 27th, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm, with dinner provided at 5:15 pm.
