Thriving families provide a structure of caring, support and shared responsibilities that help each family member feel loved and succeed in their goals. However, economic difficulties, family conflicts, or the struggles of one family member, can affect the entire family, interfering with this vital support system.

Family-focused counselling can help with any situation creating stress for your family and help you build a deeper understanding of the processes underlying problematic behaviours or troubled relationships. Our counsellors can work with you to address specific concerns impacting your family, such as chronic pain or illness, mental health issues, or substance abuse concerns. If needed, our team can also coordinate individual and family-focused counselling to help you maximize benefits for a family member with concerns and your family overall.

Viewpoint counsellors can help families address several issues, including:

• Increasing healthy supports for a family member struggling with chronic illness, pain or mental health concerns.

• Reducing conflict and developing more positive family relationships.

• Understanding your family’s strengths and addressing any needs.
