BEHAVIORAL

Parenting education program

8-week parent/caregiver education program, followed by two booster sessions. You and/or your partner will attend weekly parenting sessions which will take place either at the office of your child's primary care provider or virtually. Our Toronto Public Health Nurse, will arrange 2 home visits/virtual visits with you and your family along with 4 coaching calls during the 6 months. This first home visit will include learning more about your routines at home, and what is available in your neighbourhood. The home visits will focus on helping to apply the messages and skills from the group sessions for your family, and making connections in your community that you find helpful such as recreational or nutrition programs or other supports for your family.
