For children the start of the new school year marks the beginning of a new journey and the opportunity for endless possibilities. Whether its new classmates, teachers, school, or experiences...it is definitely an exciting time.
It is also an exciting time for the fameKids program, we are currently starting our fall groups in the Toronto and Peel area. Our
Etobicoke group starts on
September 22 at
The George Hull Centre for Children and Families. We are excited to continue our partnership with the George Hull Centre in providing support to children who have a family member with a mental health issue.
In
Peel, we are starting our fall fameKids group on
October 18 at our Mississauga Office within
the Community Door (50 Burhamthorpe Road West).
As well, the fameKids program will the held for the first time at the
Hincks-Dellcrest Centre-Jarvis Site (440 Jarvis Street) starting
November 24. This is an opportunity for FAME to support families and children within the Toronto core.
The fameKids program is currently in the process of establishing partnerships within your community to support families that are affected by mental health issues. I will keep you informed of upcoming fameKids groups in the Toronto and Peel area and current developments within our program.
