Family Therapy
A program to help families make use of their strengths and resources to solve problems within the family.
All families experience stress. But when difficulties seem too large to manage, it may be hard to know which way to turn. Family Therapy can help.

What is Family Therapy?
Family Therapy is a program of New Directions for Children, Youth, Adults, and Families (formerly Children's Home of Winnipeg).

We work with families and professionals to deliver the kind of services families require when they are in search of a new direction. We believe that:

  • families have the capacity for growth and change
  • family members have strengths and resources to solve their own problems
Our services include:
  • family counseling
  • group counseling
  • professional training and development
  • consultation with other service providers
  • partnering with other agencies
  • reaching out to daycare community
Services for Professionals
High-quality service delivery to professionals means high-quality service delivery to families. The Family Therapy Program offers professionals:
  • telephone or in-person consultation regarding potential or on-going referrals
  • training courses in family systems intervention (CLICK HERE FOR BROCHURE)
  • Masters practicum placements
  • workshops on a multitude of family issues
Services for Families
Families may call directly to request services. As well, referrals are made by Winnipeg Child and Family Services, community agencies, doctors, teachers, counselors and former clients.

We have group and individual counseling, depending on the needs of the family. Our counseling deals with such issues as:

  • families in daycare
  • changes in the family
  • sexual abuse
  • physical aggression
  • delinquency
  • drug or alcohol abuse
  • running from home
  • managing anger and anxiety
  • childhood depression and fears
  • adjustment to separation, divorce or remarriage
  • post litigation support group for parents of high risk youth
