Our online support groups give parents a place to connect through Facebook. All groups offer the opportunity to share experiences, socialize, and build friendships.
All groups are private, require commitments by members to respect confidentiality, and are facilitated by our Family Support team. This ensures that the group stays focused and that confidentiality is respected by all.
Parenting Indigenous Children Support Group
This group is for adoptive and permanency parents of Indigenous children. We support each other through the sharing of personal insights and experiences in an atmosphere of confidentiality and trust.
Connecting and Supporting Families
This is a confidential social networking support group for adoptive and permanency parents in BC who are parenting children of any age. We explore contemporary adoption and permanency issues and support each other through the sharing of personal insights and experiences.
Complex Needs Parent Support Group
This support group is for adoptive parents of children with complex needs, including FASD. We explore contemporary adoption issues and support each other through the sharing of personal insights and experiences, in an atmosphere of confidentiality and trust.
2SLGBTQIA+ Parent Support Group
This support group is for adoptive and permanency families with members (parents and/or children) who are part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Prospective parents are also welcome!
Waiting Parents Support Group
This support group is for prospective parents who are considering adoption or permanency, at any stage of their application journey, or who are approved waiting parents.
Parenting Teens Support Group
In this group, Adoptive Parents can share stories, experiences, thoughts and feelings in a supportive non-judgmental atmosphere of confidentiality and trust. Parents can ask questions, learn from one another through lived experience and work together to help overcome common issues that their teenage adoptees face. Most importantly, parents will have a support system and know that they are not alone.
Drop-in support groups
We also offer drop-in online support sessions via Zoom that bring together parents and carers who are facing unique circumstances or challenges, or who just want to connect with others.
