SUPPORT FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN (SPYC ) SPYC is a program offering one-to-one teaching and support to assist parents/ grandparents and caregivers of children aged 0-6 in increasing their self-esteem and parenting skills, and to develop a sound community-based support system. Service is provided by Community Counsellors. In addition to one-to-one support, the program will also run four, six-week long group sessions based on attachment theory, with a focus on skill building. The primary long- term goal of the SPYC program is to support and educate parents, while promoting safe and healthy home environments.

The immediate goals are to educate parents around the normal stages of child development, foster better communication and more positive interaction between parents and children, introduce more effective ways to respond to particular child behaviours, and connect families to other resources within our community.

“The staff member was such a blessing to me. She was the strong support when my family went through health and emotional crisis. She exceeded her great skills with a human touch and care.”
