Young Parent Support Program

The Young Parent Support Program receives all referrals from the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) office in Salmon Arm. The program is a preventative service to strengthen families by supporting young parents in obtaining knowledge and skills to prepare for the birth of and care for their children, protect them from adverse lifestyle risks and achieve long-term family success by also participating in educational or employment ventures. Through a therapeutic relationship, guidance is provided to young parents to support personal growth and development, and ongoing healthy lifestyle changes to enhance positive parenting skills.
