We are very grateful to our major funder, the Public Health Agency of Canada, as well as to Success by 6, yet we are still faced with the often-daunting task of stretching our limited resources to support vulnerable families in our community.

Brighter Futures for Children of Young Single Parents provides quality programs and support services at no charge to these young families at various locations throughout the city. Programs such as Parenting Plus, Anger/Stress Management, the Toddler Learning Club, and the Young Fathers’ Program promote prevention and healthy family life. Our guiding principle is “Children First”.

Buns in the Oven provides comprehensive programs and services at no charge to support pregnant teens and other at-risk women to achieve healthy pregnancies and positive birth outcomes in the city of Ottawa. This dynamic program successfully addresses issues faced by pregnant women in need through education, peer support, health counselling and access to nutritious food. Three of the eleven program sites serve only teens.

It is through the generosity of community groups, businesses and individuals like you that we are able to provide much needed services to families in our community during a challenging part of their lives.

Thank you for your sensitivity to the special needs of our community’s most vulnerable children and families. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
