Standing Our Ground

Are your teenage children yelling at you, hitting you, threatening to hurt you,

calling you names or stealing your money or possessions?

You are invited to join a free workshop for mothers who are being bullied by

their children. Participants will explore ways to end the abuse. This program

will help you through the process of change with practical solutions and safety

as a priority. You will also receive a workbook to help guide you.

Dads Making a Difference

Family Service is pleased to offer the Dads Making a Difference Program beginning the week of November 16th 2009. This 8 week program is designed to help Dads become more present in the lives of their children, to improve the quality of their relationship with their children, their communication skills and parenting skills.

Dads Making a Difference is an internationally known program aimed at increasing the involvement of fathers in the lives of their children, to support dads to be effective parents, to support fathers as effective dads, to create a community environment in which we reinforce the message that dads do make a difference. We provide, through small group work, parenting and support services targeted specifically for dads, both custodial and non custodial, single or in relationships, whose children range in age from birth to sixteen. The Program is offered free of charge and dates and time will be announced. Interested Dads can contact us at 420-1980 and ask for Erin or through e-mail lmaerz@fshalifax.com
