Family & Me Early Years Program

Parents can bring their baby to participate in personalized one-on-one parenting guidance led by a professional therapist, which helps address parenting challenges and fosters a safe and close bond between parent and child. These activities include but are not limited to: psychoeducation, art and sensory, music, play, reading and singing, as well as movement. Early education and psychoeducation is important for both babies and parents because it promotes brain development, language, and social skills, and fosters curiosity and a sense of security. Through close interaction, it strengthens the parent-child bond, helping the child grow healthily and laying a solid foundation for future learning.

Our hands-on, skill-based development sessions are designed to foster a deeper connection between parents and their children. These sessions are structured specifically, in that one therapist works with two families or three families. Over a series of weeks, parents and children participate together in activities that promote bonding, relationship building, mutual understanding, learning, and social interaction. Each session begins with social connection time, followed by workshops that teach practical parenting skills, and concludes with a parent-child activity to practice what has been learned. Early education groups are important for babies as they promote social skills, encourage adaptability, and offer learning through imitation. Group activities provide diverse experiences, helping babies develop emotionally and socially while learning to interact with others in a supportive environment.

Becoming a parent can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Our individual and group psychotherapy sessions provide parents with a safe space to share their experiences, seek guidance, and build resilience. We address common challenges such as postpartum adjustments, parental anxiety, and the complexities of raising a young child, ensuring that parents feel supported throughout their journey.

We offer coaching sessions that focus on essential parenting skills, helping parents develop effective strategies to nurture their child’s growth. Our programs, such as the “Nobody’s Perfect” program, cover topics including sleep routines, secure attachment, and positive behavior management. These sessions can be delivered as home visits, one-on-one coaching, or in group settings, providing flexibility to meet your needs.

Knowledge is a vital tool for parents. Our program provides access to valuable resources, including storybooks, community services, and practical guides. We also host workshops and seminars on various topics related to early childhood development, where parents can learn from experts and connect with other families in a supportive setting.

Our self-help groups bring parents together to share their experiences, offer support, and build a sense of community. These groups are facilitated by experienced clinicians who guide discussions and provide insights, helping parents navigate the challenges of early parenthood with confidence.
