Resources for parents

If the friendship that worries you is happening at school, you can contact your child’s teacher who will refer you to the various services offered by your school such as a special education teacher, a psychoeducator or a social worker. They will equip you with the right tools so you can better intervene.

CLSCs also offer access to social workers or psychoeducators who can support your family. Online services are available as well from support organizations like Parents Line or Education Coup-de-fil.

Don’t hesitate to seek help because being a good parent also means to recognize that sometimes we need a little help to better guide our children towards learning independence.
