ABOUT US

At Starfish Parent Support Program, we specialize in providing hands-on coaching and support tailored to enhance daily living skills and routines in children, catering to their age and development level. Our approach is deeply rooted in family-centered goal planning, which involves recognizing and addressing the unique needs, wishes, and desires of each family member, both individually and as a collective unit. Through parent modeling, tracking, and evaluation, we are dedicated to fostering stable and nurturing relationships between parents and children. This involves not only guiding and encouraging appropriate interactions but also, when necessary, assisting families in accessing suitable community resources and implementing the recommendations of other professionals.

OUR TEAM

OUR VISION

Our vision extends beyond individual family support to a broader commitment to community engagement and partnership. We work relentlessly to collaborate with organizations, businesses, and the community to ensure our families maintain healthy, safe, and happy homes. We are immensely grateful for the support from our partners in the Durham Region, who generously offer social and recreational opportunities for our children, alongside donations of clothing, household items, and Christmas baskets, reflecting the community's spirit of support and generosity. Moreover, we recognize the importance of social connection and support for parents, often challenged by feelings of alienation and loneliness. Our facilitated peer support groups provide a nurturing environment for parents to support one another, enhanced by the camaraderie shared over delicious munchies. The Starfish Parent Support Program is also committed to education and skills development, offering tailored learning opportunities in individual and small group settings that focus on parenting, life, and social skills, accommodating the varied learning needs of our clients.
