Deltassist offers various services to families who are referred by the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). These include our Healthy Families program, one-to-one work with children, supervised visitation, outreach family counselling, and education in parenting skills. There are also three groups for children, each focused on particular needs.
Programs for Parents
We offer parenting programs and workshops for parents up children up to age 12. And our Young Parent Outreach program supports young and teen parents with support, education and mentoring.
Substance Use Counselling
We offer counseling to those directly or indirectly affected by a substance misuse problem, including individuals, couples, families, youth, seniors and groups. This includes treatment, education and prevention components.
Stopping the Violence
We offer free individual and group counselling for individuals 19 years of age and over, who have experienced or are experiencing violence/abuse in their intimate partner relationships.
Within this program, we offer outreach services, advocacy, case management, accompaniment and referrals to other community agencies.
Sexual Assault Response Program
The Sexual Assault Response Program is committed to ending sexualized violence through healing and community awareness. We are dedicated to supporting all women, men, trans, two-spirit and gender non-conforming survivors of sexual assault, who are aged 16 and up, through individual and/or group counselling, education, and empowerment.
Youth Suicide Prevention
We provide assessment and counseling services for youth, with a focus on supporting teens in developing and using healthy ways to cope with stress. We also work collaboratively with schools and other community agencies and programs, as needed.
Groups and Workshops
We offer a number of groups and workshops for residents of Delta on topics such as parenting, substance use, sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, self-esteem, assertiveness and anger.
