At Family Services of Greater Vancouver, we walk alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges. Our Backyard is where we come together to share stories, provide resources for the community, and create dialogue about complex issues such as homelessness, trauma, and poverty. There’s more to every story, so let’s dive in.
This experience has strengthened my sense of self, the validity of my needs and boundaries and my self esteem. I have much to practice still to improve and get stronger but I couldn’t have done this without the kind of support my counsellor provided.
I got so much from this program and would recommend it to anyone affected by violence in their lives. This kind of long-term care is actually what helps people. This program has helped me heal and grow and I now feel like I’m working more on thriving…
I really felt impacted by the benefits of longer-term counseling to support my daughter. She developed some tools and awareness about herself and the understanding that you can seek out support for problems. It was a program my daughter looked forward to attending every week.
