Members Club Discussion Session on Trauma and Resilience in Early Childhood Development

This year, Families Canada is excited to introduce a new member benefit - the Members Club - a quarterly online gathering of members designed to provide family support workers with a dedicated space to connect, share, and grow together. It will be an opportunity for Families Canada members to engage in activities and events, focused on fostering open conversation and mutual support. In this welcoming environment, members can discuss strategies for overcoming obstacles and improving family support services in their communities.

Each quarter, the Members Club will be offered in different formats to ensure that both structured and informal exchanges take place. Through facilitated discussions, participants can share personal experiences, challenges, and best practices, creating a rich environment for learning and ensuring that every member feels supported and equipped to continue their important work. With a focus on practical, real-world insights, the Members Club aims to empower family support professionals with new perspectives, approaches, and tools. By sharing their wisdom and challenges, practitioners collectively strengthen the network of family support services nationwide.
