children and youth services

 If you are concerned about your child’s development, the Infant  Development Program can help. The Infant Development Program serves  children from birth to six years old who are at risk for, or who  already have a delay in development. Programs are available throughout  British Columbia. Each program brings parents and professionals together  to help children overcome developmental difficulties.  Once you are referred to a program, a consultant will visit you in your  home. Together, you will plan activities that best meet both your  child’s and your family’s needs. If your child has a disability (special  need), up-to-date information will be available to you.  

As a parent, you may contact the Infant Development Program directly, or you may be referred by:

• A doctor
• A public health nurse, or
• A community professional

Circle of Security 

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

Using the COSP™ model developed by the Circle of Security originators, our trained Facilitators work with parents and care-givers to help them to:

• Understand their child’s emotional world by learning to read emotional needs
• Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions
• Enhance the development of their child's self esteem
• Honor the innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure

These programs can be completed individually or as a group. Watch for posters on start dates for groups.

The Family Support program is an intervention service to children, youth and their families who are experiencing difficulties with parenting and who are  potentially at risk of family or placement breakdown. 

This may include things such as safety concerns for the child(ren), behavioural management, parenting, relationships and mental health issues. 

The main purpose for the Family Support program is to restore family functioning by supporting families in discovering ways to find their own solutions, make positive choices and decisions about their situation and to help utilize community resources. 

Child Youth Special Needs program provides activities provided to maintain or prompt a change in the behaviour, condition or functioning of children, youth and their families.


Guidance is provided to support personal growth, development or situational change.
We provide direct goal-orientated services to address the needs of the child.


Referrals through the Ministry of Children and Youth are needed to access this program.
