BEYOND THE BASICS Parenting Group

Baby’s Best Beginnings is the first Early Childhood Development program in Ontario to offer the BEYOND THE BASICS Parenting Group.

In 2006, Baby’s Best Beginnings adopted the BEYOND THE BASICS Parenting Group program by adding an 11th session: “The Impact of Substance Use on Parenting”. The criteria for attending the group were amended to select women with addictions who are pregnant or parenting children 0-6 years of age. In addition, information and discussion about substance use is woven into the curriculum of the other 10 sessions.

BEYOND THE BASICS Parenting Group is an 11-session, 90-minute weekly program offered three times a year in the regions of Halton/Peel to mothers who:

• Are using or have used drugs and/or alcohol in the past?

• Have a child 6 years of age or under (in her care or not)?

• Are involved with the Children’s Aid Society and are recommended or required to attend a parenting group?

Choices for Change

This is an addictions treatment program offered at the Outpatient Centre in Oakville for women without children, or whose children are older than six years of age.

Living Sober

This is a bi-monthly group intervention program open to women who are at varying stages in the recovery process, as well as women who are family members of those with addictions and / or women who have attended residential treatment and who have completed two years of aftercare at the treatment facility. The Program offers lectures, reflection sessions and group discussions on principles for achieving a richer spiritual experience while recovering from addictions.
