Welcome to Family Harmonies Familiales
Est. 2006
Family Harmonies Familiales brings together people from all walks of life – many of whom live with disabilities and mental health challenges – to create a community of love and support. Tailored programming combines skill-building exercises and fun into meaningful daytime activities in a comfortable and positive atmosphere.
With fun and engaging activities, the group members practice a variety of skills through natural-environment learning and have built a lovely community that supports each other and is always happy to welcome new friends!
Creative problem-solving to break down financial barriers
Most of the participants pay with ministry Passport Funding. Those whose budget doesn’t allow for full fees can take on tasks in the Employability program which help offset administrative costs while offering them unique opportunities to build further skills and responsibilities! Some parents and family members volunteer in different capacities too!
