Quality family time has many incredible benefits, including helping parents build nurturing and supportive relationships with their children, one of the most effective ways to help children develop resilience and better cope with the effects of early-life stress and adversity.

But, some parents can struggle to build nurturing and supportive relationships with their children, especially when big challenges like poverty, substance misuse, mental health challenges, and other complex challenges can get in the way.

With your help, we will provide families in Guelph-Wellington who are struggling with complex challenges with opportunities to spend quality time together in play, helping them to nurture the positive parent-child relationships they need to build resilience and thrive in the face of future adversities.

Your donation will make it possible for 50 families to participate in 2-6 play-based experiences together this year.
