Family Support Centre
315 Avenue M South 933-7751

This group is for children, aged 7 - 11 years. It provides children who have witnessed domestic violence with a safe place to talk about their experiences, and to learn and practice new skills. Topics include building self-esteem, dealing with anger in healthy ways, problem solving, labeling and expressing feelings, and how to stay safe.

Parent Component: Women are expected to attend the parents’ group which runs at the same time as the children’s group. Moms receive information about the effects of domestic violence on children, and healthy ways to meet their own needs and the needs of children.

Transportation is available as well as on-site childcare for younger children not attending this group.
