Growing Together
A group for Mothers and Children
(Growing Together Group completed in Partnership with Pikwàkanagàn
Child and Family Services, Phoenix Centre and Bernadette McCann House for Women)
This is a 10-week support group that builds
self-esteem, breaks the isolation of abuse and
promotes the healing process for mothers and
children with an Aboriginal influence through
traditional and culturally sensitive ideas. Each
week begins with the sharing of a light meal,
followed by individual sessions for the mothers
and children. At the end of the 10 week period
there will be a celebration and give-aways.
Please contact Pikwàkanagàn Child and Family
Services at 613-625-2173 for more information.
Thank you.

Pikwàkanagàn in Search of Foster Parents We are in search for Aboriginal foster parents who are licensed,
or individuals who are willing to take the training to become a foster parent.
Foster parents work together with Pikwàkanagàn Child & Family
Services/ Family & Children’s Services of Renfrew County staff to develop a plan for each child in care. The ideal plan is usually to reunite a young person with his
or her family. When a reunion is not possible, the plan may require long-term foster care.
Foster families play an essential role in the child's daily life. The stable and caring home environment that foster families provide helps encourage healthy
growth and development.
If you are interested in this ever rewarding opportunity and would like more information please
contact :
Hilda Tennisco, Supervisor Pikwàkanagàn Child & Family Services
