Help to make a difference in the lives of newly arrived refugee children and their families in Vancouver and North Vancouver.

The Circles of Care and Connection is a unique, FREE program provided by Mount Pleasant Family Centre Society, which offers home visiting services to the most marginalized refugee families with children ages zero to six years old.

Eligible families for the Home Visiting Program include:

  • Government Assisted Refugees
  • Sponsored Refugees (privately and/or jointly sponsored)
  • Accepted refugee claimants

Services focus on:

  • Early childhood development
  • Positive parenting in a Canadian context
  • Preschool and kindergarten readiness
  • Identifying basic needs of children and family, and bridging them to local, community services
  • Assisting parents with stress management and negotiating government programs (i.e. rental subsidy, BC housing, child tax credit etc)

Being part of our Home Visiting/Outreach Program, families will have the opportunity to participate in:

  • Welcome to Canada and Family Drop-In Program
  • Community outings
  • Yearly special event celebrations
  • Parent education and specialized workshops

The home visiting service makes significant changes in refugee children’s lives and the lives of their parents. Children get healthier, happier and better prepared for school. The program helps to improve the quality of life for refugee children and their families settled in Vancouver and North Vancouver.

For more information or to request a referral form, please contact the Program Manager, Theresa Tang at [email protected] or 778-372-6552.
