“A good environment for shared learning experiences between parent and child.”
CCA Child, Youth & Family program provides innovative services and programs to enhance mental health, general wellbeing, family support, healthy relationships, and educational outcomes for children, youth, and their families
CCA take an early intervention approach, using evidence-based programs and trauma informed services and practices to promote meaningful results in social and emotional wellbeing, for the children, young people, families, and communities we serve. Providing trusted information, strategies, and resources; CCA takes a planned approach to design programs that support, and strengthen the vulnerable and provide the best opportunity for families, children & youth wellbeing.
A strong relationship and secure emotional bond between children, young people and their caregivers, is critical. It can affect their physical, social, and emotional development, including their ability to form trusting relationships and exhibit positive behaviours. CCA can help parents learn and practice the nurturing skills that lead to strong, secure attachments and is a well-supported pathway to positive outcomes for children and young people.
Our programs support parents to develop concrete parenting skills that help children and youth function well at home, in school, at work, and in the community, today and into adulthood. Parents are coached on how to use their own inner strengths and resources as a foundation for building essential protective factors. These include resilience, social connection and knowledge of parenting and child/ youth development, which help families to parent effectively.
Parents who have participated in our programs have indicated such things as; that they feel better able to handle anger and emotional outbursts from their child, they better understand the importance of selfcare in parenting, that they feel more confident in their understanding of their child’s emotions and that they have gained a greater understanding of the importance of emotional intelligence, not just IQ (Intelligence Quotient).

“It is so good to know more about my child. What he is doing in the school and how the teacher helps them to develop their fundamental knowledge when they just start kindergarten. It gave me a good opportunity to connect with the school.”
