FIREFLY now offers Circle of Security® parenting programs for caregivers of children aged 0-6 who want to reflect upon their child’s attachment needs and strengthen attachment relationships with the children in their care. This program is offered in-person and virtually in partnership with other community partners.
High Intensity Kids is a new virtual parent group for caregivers and parents of children ages 0-17 who are usually intense, deeply feeling, often spirited, and sometimes challenging. Join our Parenting Mental Health Support Worker and Child and Youth Mental Health Counsellors over the course of four evenings where you will connect with other caregivers who can relate to your experiences, learn about what makes these kids ‘tick’, and explore some effective (and realistic) care-giving strategies that are tailored to their unique needs. You are welcome to participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, turning your camera on and speaking is not mandatory.
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.

Triple P is a parenting program, but it doesn’t tell you how to be a parent. Instead, it provides information, space, and perspective to explore your own parenting. It allows you the ability to choose your own goals, according to your own beliefs and values, and then select and adapt Triple P parenting strategies to help you achieve those goals. It’s all about making Triple P work for you.
The three Ps in ‘Triple P’ stand for ‘Positive Parenting Program’ which means your family life is going to be much more enjoyable.
