Parent Support Services Society of BC
Support circles for parents (currently virtual sessions due to Covid) in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and North/Interior.
“All Support Circles follow a similar plan but the details for each meeting vary from one Circle to another. Many Circles open with each parent saying how they are and how their week with their children has been. Participants discuss parenting concerns in the supportive setting provided. One of the most important things about Parenting Support Circles is that they respond to the needs expressed by the parents who attend them. In some communities circles operate in Spanish, English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Filipino. There are also support groups for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren. Parent Support Services Society of BC ensures that anyone parenting children and teens will be comfortable joining a Support Circle. Parent Support Services is able to provide childcare in most locations or a small subsidy to pay for chid care and transportation, if needed. Our objective is to remove the financial obstacles that might prevent a parent from attending a Support Circle.”
