Supporting parents through lockdown

“Thank you so much for the beautiful work you do! I am seeing results with my kids already, especially with my 15-year-old daughter.” – Parent participant from “Tuning In To Teens”

AV staff played an essential role in the lives of thousands of parents who found themselves reaching out for a helping hand during the pandemic.

With as much as three times the usual demand for services in some areas, the need to create pandemic-safe practices in our service delivery to families rapidly ushered us into a new era of online operations. Thanks to the dedicated work of our teams to evolve into a digital environment, programs like ParentZone were able to successfully migrate online within a short period of time..

“It’s been a magic roller coaster ride. The speed with which we’ve been able to move online has been phenomenal. The staff have been absolutely astonishing. What may have normally taken us five years we have achieved in three months. And this has provided the catalyst to reach more clients on an ongoing basis.”
– Cathie Valentine, Program Manager Community Services
