Parenting Wisely
There are no fees for our services but you may be asked to pay a nominal fee for materials.
Parenting Wisely is offered to parents of young
children or pre-teens. Each group introduces parents
to specific parenting skills. These skills are taught
using video scenarios that address common difficulties
that families experience during these challenging
developmental periods. In addition to the video materials,
group members are encouraged to share their own parenting
challenges and skills so that each parent can learn new
ways of parenting with success.

Children & Change
There are no fees for our services but you may be asked to pay a nominal fee for materials.
The Children & Change Group is a 6-8 session group for
children aged 5-12 years(children will be grouped into age
appropriate sessions) who have experienced their parent’s
separation or divorce. Topics include: feelings, loss
and change, loyalty and “being in the middle”, hopes
and wishes and self-esteem. Children experience separation
in different ways than adults and may be reacting with anger,
profound sadness, anxiety, guilt or confusion. They may be
showing signs of sleep problems, regression, school
difficulties, aggression, aligning with one parent over
the other, etc. Through this fun, interactive process,
kids get a chance to use art, games, discussion, and
other activities to explore the changes in their lives.
Please phone the Kelowna Family Centre for more information
