Healing Through Relationships – Responding to Mothers and Young Children Disproportionately Affected by COVID-19

Healing Through Relationships will enhance mental health outcomes for mothers experiencing trauma and their young children (0-6 years) by offering both instrumental support and a focused parenting intervention in Toronto. Using a wrap-around community-based model, this project will decrease COVID-related isolation and provide in-person access to a broad range of health and social services situated together at one location. In addition, Healing Through Relationships will offer an 8-week parenting intervention to improve the relationship capacity of mothers, promote secure attachment, and reduce risk factors for mental health problems in infants and young children throughout the lifespan. 

Lead organization: Canadian Mothercraft Society

Location: Toronto, Ontario
