Family Enhancement

Family Enhancement is a new program providing support services to youth and families with children, including children with special needs.

Programs include:

"Healthy Family Program"

A voluntary home visitation program for families with newborn babies.
Services are initiated prenatally or shortly after birth.
Family home visitors work from a strength-based approach to promote healthy childhood growth and development, positive parenting and parent-child bonding.
Home visitors also link parents to other services and programs in the community.
Families can refer themselves or be referred through their health care provider (doctor/nurse).
There is no cost for the program.

Sometimes families need some help to effectively address the challenges that they experience in life.
"Voluntary Support Agreements (VSA)" are offered to parents experiencing a number of different challenges as they try to address the needs of their children and families.
A community social service worker will provide individual assessment and develop support plans.
Through the VSA the parents and their children (ages 0-15 years) gain access to services and programs they need, at the right time and from the right service provider.
Families can refer themselves.

Support Services Agreement are available for youth ages 16-18 when they need a stronger support system to help them as they transition from youth to adulthood.
Youth can refer themselves.
A community social service worker will provide individual assessment and develop support plans.
