About the Program
This is not counselling by professional counsellors or psychologists. The program is run by screened facilitators trained in how to implement the program, behaviour management, and our Participant Protection Plan.
We welcome families of all faiths
HomeBuilders uses a variety of play-therapy tools such as games, songs, stories, and as much hands-on learning as possible to help participants learn and apply healthy coping strategies. You and your children should be ready to participate to receive the most benefit from the program.
Parents attend their own class where they learn how to support their children at home with practical tools they can easily implement at home. Each week includes parent homework with activities to try at home with their kids.
The curriculum weaves in a Christian-faith based component, letting children know that God is with them through the tough time. The materials that we have developed have Christian components such as incorporating Christian music, Bible stories, and prayer into the lesson in a non-coercive manner. We welcome families of all faiths; however, a Christian worldview will be presented.

HomeBuiders uses group settings, not one-on-one programming. Children benefit by knowing there are other children going through similar feelings.
