The CONNECT Program
The CONNECT Program is a Community-University Partnership between researchers at Simon Fraser University, the Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre, and the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development. How CONNECT Works A 10 week Attachment-Based program to support Parents and Caregivers of teens with difficult behavioural and emotional problems. Parents meet in small, confidential groups with two trained group leaders for one hour each week. The program gives a new perspective on parent-teen relationships in which parents/caregivers try exercises and encourage more choices for responding to their teens difficult behaviour.

If you need support as a parent, this program could be a good fit for you. |
