Together for the journey…

Being a parent, even under the most ideal scenarios, can come with a variety of difficulties and obstacles. Being a young parent can sometimes heighten these experiences, adding additional stress as you try to be the best parent you can.

The team at Options cares about you and your little one(s)! We want to see you thrive and succeed, no matter your age. We believe in you and know that you can be a fantastic parent, especially with a little bit of support!

Parenting programs have considerable potential to improve the mental health and well-being of children, improve family relationships, and benefit the community at large...

Parent-Child Education

We want to see you THRIVE in your role!

Options is proud to launch a brand new initiative to increase parental skills, bonding between parent & child as well as an altogether strengthening of the family unit. The “Parent-Child Education” program at Options offers an enriching opportunity for development; focusing on all aspects of healthy and holistic parenting.

We are pleased to offer a module-based program that can be custom-tailored to best support your parenting needs and requirements.

MOM SQUAD

#COMMUNITY

You relax, they play. It’s a Win, win!

Join us for our weekly Mom & Tot hangout reserved especially for young moms and their little ones. Talk about everything from breastfeeding to boyfriends… Learn some cool life-hacks and enjoy some healthy snacks alongside other young women who totally “get it”.

This weekly group sometimes moves online due to covid restrictions. Contact us to be sure!

DAD’s Program

#GROWTH

YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN AMAZING DAD!

We believe that fatherhood is important. We offer dad-to-dad mentoring and activities especially for guys who desire to step-up their game as a positive parental figure.

We recognize that fatherhood can look different from one dad to another. This program is offered to anyone who acts as “dad” in the life of a child, whether biological or by relationship.

 

Young Parents FB group

#COMMUNITY

BECAUSE WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!

A private online space reserved for Options’ young parents aged teen through 25. This platform offers a safe space to share life with other young parents in our area. Sometimes silly, sometimes serious… We aim to encourage you, share tips and tricks and build friendships and trust as a group. We also share important updates, announcements and special contests and challenges in this private space!

Ongoing Support

#SUPPORT

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Life can get messy. Some situations can be hard to manage alone. We all need a bit of extra support and help from time to time. That’s why we offer extended care to help you navigate areas such as housing instability, food management and budgeting, post-partum rest, and a variety of other custom-tailored resources to help you transition into a place of healthy autonomy. You’ve got this! And we’ve got your back!
