Parenting Mental Health Support

PARENTING MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

FIREFLY has partnered with the LOTW District Hospital, Canadian Mental Health Association Fort Frances and Parents for Children’s Mental Health to offer both One-on-one support sessions as well as group sessions with our Parenting Mental Health Support Worker. These sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space for parents/caregivers to speak openly and honestly about their experiences supporting their loved ones with mental health struggles.

Please see information below on how to register for both.

FIREFLY Parenting Mental Health Support Worker

RoxAnne Daignault

RoxAnne is the parent of one child who has struggled with mental illness for over 17 years and is now an independent adult successfully living on their own. RoxAnne spent much of her time attending support groups, workshops, and courses related to mental health, coaching, and supporting other caregivers in search of finding a community that she could connect with on these challenges. She has spoken at various events about her experience, notably the Vancouver Mental Health Conference in 2014 and the Two-Eyed Seeing Conference in 2023. Now RoxAnne is sharing her expertise and creating an environment of peer support, education, and empowerment with other parents and caregivers through partnered organizations so that others can find a sense of belonging and experience the same sense of community that she found when it mattered most.
