About Our Support Programs

Connecting for Kids offers different support programs, designed to meet your needs. These include:

Coffee and Chat Programs, where families come together to support each other.

Special Topic Coffee and Chat Programs, developed for families with specific concerns like supporting an LGBTQ+ child or children with complex needs.

Ask Us! 1:1, where families can meet 1:1 with a Family Resource Specialist to learn about resources to help their child.

Support programs are for families of children ages 0-12 years. Childcare is available for in-person programs, but children must register using a separate childcare registration. Translation is also available.

Coffee and Chat Programs

Join our interactive support group and meet other families facing similar struggles.

Coffee and Chat: Special Topic

Like our traditional Coffee and Chat programs, families facing similar concerns can support one another and learn new ways to help their child. These programs are created with specific topics in mind, including parenting children with complex needs and supporting children who identify as gender expansive or LGBTQ+.
