Adult Programmes

Fambul Tok (Means ‘family meeting/conversation’ in the Krio language from West Africa). These are the 60-minutes group for adults. Topics discussed will vary weekly, including parenting, family relationships, and perceptions of systems and services. Using a culturally adapted focused conversation method, participating adults are provided opportunities to share their opinions on parenting children/youth in Canada and effectively identify what support they need to parent within the Canadian context. Groups also explore Western parenting expectations and identify how these expectations shape and impact parenting and parent-child relationships in Black homes. Participating adults are supported using culturally informed parenting strategies that integrate system expectations and promote family wellness.
