[Support Group] AFCCA—Kinship, Peer-Led Support Group
When aunts, uncles, grandparents, siblings, or other family/community members are caring for a child expressing aggressive behaviour, there can be additional challenges that arise from needing to navigate extended family dynamics and complex, multi-generational relationships. This monthly, peer-facilitated support group provides a virtual space that allows our community of kinship families, in all forms, to learn from one another and share their perspectives.

Attachment plays a central role in our social and emotional development, and every child or youth touched by permanency has experienced an attachment disruption. Join us as we acknowledge that loss, explore practical strategies to focus on and strengthen attachment, and discuss the joys and challenges that you may be facing.
