The Support We offer
Exploring Adoption Support
If you are considering adoption as one of your pregnancy options, we provide a space to learn about adoption pathways available in Quebec and the supports that may be available to birth parents throughout the process. We can help you explore questions, concerns, and available resources while connecting you with organizations that specialize in adoption services.
​​
Individual Support
Whether you are exploring adoption, preparing for a placement, navigating an open adoption relationship, processing family separation, or carrying grief related to your experience, we provide a confidential and nonjudgmental space to talk through your circumstances.
​
Parenting Education & Family Reunification Support
For some parents, the goal may be reunification, strengthening parenting skills, or demonstrating a commitment to personal growth and family stability.
We are working to provide parenting education and support that may help demonstrate efforts toward reunification. Participants will gain practical parenting tools and, upon completion, receive a certificate that attests that they have completed the programme.
