Co-Parenting Group going strong!
As we look over the year of 2009 I cannot help to notice the commitment of so many from management, staff to clients all in the same place of putting their best foot forward.
This year has been a privilege to help facilitate the co parenting group , one on one time with the clients and support to the staff and I leave each day feeling grateful.
Co parenting group is evolving into a place where men can share and learn the skills necessary to parent their children. They learn to work with the other parent in collaboration and take the responsibility necessary to feel better about who they are as parents. We have very clear principles and guidelines in place that make each of them a better person because of it.
Just last week a daughter came into the group to share her story and perspective on the impact her Dads addiction had on her and how she sees him today as he attains recovery; Very powerful !
Darren and I are very excited for the year to come as we meet more committed dads that want to share and learn how they can make changes in this important part of their lives. Thank you Last Door for all that you do to make the programs make such a difference in peoples lives.
Merry Christmas!

a special thank you to the Westminster Savings Foundation
which awarded a $19,500 grant to Last Door's Tutoring Program
The Westminster Savings Foundation has been giving back to the communities in which we live and work since 1992. As one of the largest credit union foundations in Canada, it supports local charitable groups in the areas of health, education, social services, youth activities and culture.
Since its first donation the Foundation has distributed over 1.7 million dollars to community groups in the belief that working together towards a more vibrant, healthy and prosperous society will benefit us all.
