About the program

The Thriving Roots Parenting Program is a values-based, culturally responsive initiative developed by The Marriage Advocates Canada to support parents in building strong, emotionally healthy homes. Through weekly sessions led by certified coaches and family wellness educators, parents gain practical tools to:

  • Improve parent-child communication.
  • Foster emotional resilience in children.
  • Navigate cultural and generational dynamics.
  • Practice positive discipline and structure.
  • Support mental and relational well-being at home.

 

Why Sponsor a Parent?

Many parents in our community—particularly immigrants and those navigating economic or relational hardship—desire to raise thriving children but face significant barriers to accessing reliable support. Your sponsorship gives them:

  • Full access to the 4-week Thriving Roots Program.
  • A safe, empowering space to grow and connect.
  • Long-term tools that impact their families for generations.

 

What Your Support Covers

  • Program workbooks and take-home materials.
  • Access to licensed facilitators and coaches.
  • Translation and culturally adapted content.
  • Snacks/light meals for in-person gatherings.
  • Post-program coaching resources for continued growth.
