FAMILY DAY 2025 POP-UP EVENT

You define family. We support it.

When life’s challenges arise, FSGV is here to offer a helping hand with:

  • crisis support
  • counselling
  • parenting groups
  • resource referral
  • financial coaching and workshops

Our mission is to build brighter tomorrows and for our work with families this means giving them the tools, supports, and knowledge to build a healthy, strong foundation for themselves. Families are dynamic, diverse, and unique and our staff meet each where they’re at, instead of a cookie-cutter approaches. 

For those struggling with the high cost of living, our Financial Empowerment team offers 1-on-1 coaching and community workshops.

For parents daunted by pregnancy, Healthy Connections provides counselling to work through any trauma-related issues. 

For parents seeking resources and a friendly place to discuss parenting and learn about their child’s stage of development, our Parenting Groups are a safe and supportive place.

Our Trauma Counselling programs serve families and children who have faced things nobody should ever have had to, with a focus on healing, reconnecting with the self, and finding a sense of safety.

Each year, FSGV celebrates Family Day by hosting a pop-up event. 

We have resource workers on-site with our event partner, Vancouver Public Library, to answer your questions and to recommend resources and programming that’d be a good fit for your unique needs.

We also have fun activities for parents and children! The exact offerings change each year and have included:

  • colouring activities
  • wish trees
  • RESP (education savings) workshops
  • Piggy Bank workshops (teaching children about saving)
  • origami
  • dancing activities designed to teach children emotional regulation skills
