Many Families & Children Need a Helping Hand

At Family Counselling Centre we know that the odds are stacked against thousands of families in the Sarnia Lambton area because of economic hardship, stress at work and home, and the negative consequences of alcohol and substance abuse. We also know that we have more and more demands on our time and our energy than ever before. There are days when raising children, meeting busy work schedules, managing our finances or simply getting through the day can be overwhelming. Without help many families will give up hope and many children will end up acting out in frustration. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Children and families at risk are not children and families at fault and there are ways to make things better.

Our Hands Can Make a Difference!

Family Counselling Centre has developed proven techniques and programs that improve the lives of these children and families. The people who we support and provide services for constantly tell us that we have made a difference in their lives, whether that involves counselling, parenting education or support for independent living. Our client satisfaction feedback tells us that what we do works! But we need your help!

But We Need Your ‘Helping Hand’

Gifts from a generous community have made it possible to work with a lot of families at risk in the Sarnia Lambton area. But we’re reaching only a small fraction of those at risk! Please help us lend these families a hand by making a significant contribution to this campaign.
