Family Wellbeing Program

About this Program

Funded by the City of Toronto the Family Wellbeing pilot program applies a holistic approach to support parents, caregivers, and extended family members that support Scarborough’s most vulnerable youth to better navigate and connect with services and pro-social opportunities in their communities.

We aim to provide resources, services, and activities that promote positive family dynamics, enhance individual and collective health, and strengthen community
bonds.

Our Goals

  • Increase awareness of potential risk and protective factors for youth violence
  • Improve education of prevention and intervention programs and support services 
  • Support in navigating systems to increase utilization and collaboration
