The Building Stronger Family Program supports families in achieving optimal child growth and development, as well as building healthy, happy parent-child relationships.

Families can access the program at any time beginning in the prenatal stage until the child is 6 years old.

Building Stronger Families facilitators work with the family in their home using a parent driven, goal-based approach with the support of the Growing Great Kids GKI™ home visitation curriculum program. We are also a proud member of AHVNA and follow their professional guidelines and directives in our visitation program.

This program is unique to each family, voluntary, confidential, free of charge and flexible to meet the needs of the participants.

Benefits to this program include:

  • Learning about child development
  • Help your child with their school readiness
  • Build and strengthen the parent/child bond
  • incorporate everyday learning opportunities in your child’s day
  • help in accessing a variety of supports and community connections

We can assist you with….

  • Setting personal and family goals with support
  • Building and enhancing family relationships
  • Prenatal and post-natal supports
  • Parenting skills and strategies
  • Nurturing positive parenting practices
  • Connecting with supports and services within your community. 

How does the BSF Program work?

When a family signs up for the program they are matched with a Building Stronger Families facilitator. The facilitator will connect with the family and set up an in -person visit. During the first visit, the facilitator will share program information and discuss how they work to support you and your family.

Visits are weekly or bi-weekly depending on what works best for your family and can take place in another designated space than your home if necessary.

All families receive a “Welcome” kit of great resources and materials when they sign up to the program.
