Child Welfare & Caregiver Counselling
Navigating the System Can Be Challenging and Complex
Being involved in the child welfare system, whether as a caregiver, parent, or youth, can bring unique challenges:
-
Emotional exhaustion from caregiving
-
Stress navigating the child welfare system
-
Difficulty setting boundaries while supporting children and families
-
Feeling overwhelmed or isolated in your experiences
Counselling for Caregivers and Individuals
With professional experience in child and family services, and as a foster parent myself, I provide counselling that:
-
Allows you to process your experiences without needing to explain the system
-
Supports stress management and helps prevent burnout
-
Helps strengthen boundaries and communication
-
Provides guidance, understanding, and a space to feel heard
