SUMMARY:Mindful Parenting
DESCRIPTION:The Mindful Parenting Group is a 10-week program offered once per week for two hours during the Spring and Fall sessions. This program is delivered in partnership between Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke and Toronto Public Health\, combining trauma-informed support with evidence-based parenting education. \nMindful Parenting is designed to support mothers and caregivers in building confidence and strengthening their parenting skills\, particularly in the context of stress\, life transitions\, or experiences of trauma. The program creates a welcoming and non-judgmental space where caregivers can reflect\, learn\, and grow together while feeling supported by peers and facilitators. \nThroughout the 10 weeks\, participants explore: \n\n\nPositive and strengths-based parenting approaches \n\n\nEffective and respectful parent-child communication \n\n\nEmotional regulation strategies for both parents and children \n\n\nBuilding and maintaining healthy routines \n\n\nUnderstanding child development stages \n\n\nStrengthening parent-child relationships \n\n\nPractical tools for responding to challenging behaviours \n\n\nThe program acknowledges that parenting can feel overwhelming at times\, especially when navigating personal stress or past trauma. Rather than focusing on blame or perfection\, Mindful Parenting emphasizes self-compassion\, awareness\, and practical skill-building. Participants are encouraged to identify their existing strengths and build on them in ways that align with their family values and goals. \nBy the end of the program\, caregivers often report increased confidence\, improved communication with their children\, and a stronger sense of connection within their families. The group setting also fosters community\, reminding parents that they are not alone in their experiences.

SUMMARY:Unmasked (for boys)- Session II
DESCRIPTION:A transformative program that challenges harmful stereotypes\, online influences\, and the pressures young men face in today’s culture. Participants unpack messages from the manosphere\, media\, and peers while exploring accountability\, emotional honesty\, healthy relationships\, and gender-based violence prevention. Topics like misogyny\, online radicalization\, power dynamics\, and relationship patterns require a level of maturity\, life experience\, and emotional readiness more common in ages 16+. Young men at this stage are actively navigating dating\, identity\, independence\, and social pressures\, making it an ideal time to “unmask” harmful beliefs and learn healthier alternatives.
