At SNAP Family Center, we have been dedicated to supporting and strengthening families for 24 years. Our mission is to assist families with children aged 0 to 18 who are experiencing socio-emotional and behavioral challenges. We offer comprehensive individual and group support designed to help children manage their emotions and mitigate the effects of difficult behaviors. Our goal is to empower families, providing them with the tools and resources needed to navigate crises, achieve academic objectives, and foster positive development.
We pride ourselves on being a centre of excellence for the development and implementation of effective parent-child intervention programs. Our diverse offerings include specialized workshops and support groups tailored to various needs. For mothers, our drop-in group provides a welcoming space to share experiences and challenges, while our fathers’ drop-in group offers a similar opportunity for dads to connect, reflect, and celebrate their successes.
Our workshops for parents of children aged 0-5 focus on enhancing the parent-child relationship, setting realistic expectations, and improving communication strategies. For children aged 6 to 11, our flagship SNAP (Stop Now And Plan) program addresses behavioral issues, emotional management, and difficulties with authority. Over a 13-week period, children develop crucial social and emotional skills while parents acquire new strategies for managing their own emotions and parenting more effectively.
In addition to our direct support programs, we also offer school advocacy to ensure that our clients’ educational needs are met. At SNAP Family Center, we are committed to providing a nurturing environment where families can thrive and children can reach their full potential.

SNAP Family Center has been a lifeline for our family. My son struggled with managing his emotions and behavioral issues, and the SNAP program provided him with the skills he needed to make real progress. The individual sessions were incredibly insightful, and the support group for parents helped me feel less isolated in our struggles. I can’t thank the team enough for their dedication and the positive impact they’ve had on our lives.
As a father, finding a place where I felt understood and supported was crucial. The Dad’s Drop-In Group at SNAP Family Center provided just that. It was refreshing to share experiences with other fathers and gain practical advice. The workshops also helped me develop better communication strategies with my child. I highly recommend their services to any parent looking for meaningful support.
SNAP Family Center crisis intervention services were a godsend during a particularly tough time for our family. Their swift response and practical support helped us navigate through our crisis and find stability. The ongoing accompaniment and advocacy services have also been instrumental in ensuring our child receives the right support at school. We are deeply grateful for their comprehensive and compassionate approach.
