| Act 2 Child and Family Services | Since 1980, ACT 2 Child and Family Services, a not-for-profit registered charity, has helped transform the lives of those who have experienced the effects of violence, sexual abuse, trauma in their lives.
We work with children, youth and adults to help them rebuild their lives through counselling, education, housing and support. |
| Big Brothers | We support child and youth development through essential volunteer-led mentoring programs. Having one or more caring adults in a child’s life can help prevent issues like bullying and crime, so that children can grow into healthier, more giving, and more compassionate adults. Join us in strengthening communities, one child at a time. Programs include: teen mentoring, go girls groups, game on groups, and tutoring. |
| Big Sisters | Every get together, every phone call, every email, every letter, every hello and goodbye – matters. We are an organization that seeks to build connections: between mentor and mentee; organization and supporter; employee and colleague; family and caseworker. We know that building strong connections requires honesty, consistency and respect and we seek to foster those in every connection we make, every day. |
| Crossroads Hospice Society | Crossroads provides compassionate care and support to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. We also support youth and adults who are grieving the loss of a loved one through one to one and group counselling. As well, Crossroads Thrift Store is the only charity store of its kind in Coquitlam. |
| Family Smart | We have lived experience and we honour those with lived experience. Lived experience means we’ve been there, and we know what it’s like to struggle. We exist to make things better for children, youth and young adults with mental health challenges and their families or other caring adults. We provide families opportunities to speak with other families who understand and may be able to offer support or advice. We also provide information, tools, and tips on how to support and assist children with mental health difficulties. 'in the know’ provides expert speakers on topics important to families and/or those working to support the mental health of children and youth. Participating can happen either in person at various community sites or online. Watch any past topic from our library archives.
