Family Support Provider @ Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services

The Family Support Provider Program is a peer support service. Family Support Providers are parents who have experienced raising a child with emotional and-or behavioural concerns. They work with families to help them through the challenges of raising a child with mental illness. Raising a child with a mental illness can be challenging. Caregivers are often exhausted and burned out. In this program, parents who have raised a child with a mental illness provide support. They do so in a timely manner to reduce the need for more intensive services in the future.
